Hi Christine, So glad you enjoyed the book, and photos you hadn't seen before. The house you lived in up Hill Cottages, was the same house my GGGrandfather and Aunt Sarah, lived in, it is the same one that Ada (my gran) & Mabel Wrighton tried to steal the fruit from, if you remember that story in the book. Thanks for letting me know your thoughts, you can't help but wonder if people get pleasure from what you written. Sounds like you were one of the lucky ones, that didn't get into trouble for playing up 'Hill Trees', you were one of the few that didn't.
