All through my teenage years, I spent the Easter and summer holidays in a tiny cottage near Caldbeck on the edge of the English Lake District National Park;  later in life my parents lived there full-time.

Anne Utting, my mother, who was an experienced writer and craftswoman, wrote 61 articles over a period of five years about the pleasure and pitfalls of living in such a tiny, isolated  house and the difficulties of 'gardening at altitude'.  Other topics covered include the author's weaving and spinning activities.

These articles, published in the UK magazine Cumbria, attracted a substantial readership and were subsequently published as a successful soft back book entitled "The Cottage on The Fell".

Time has now moved on, and "The Cottage on The Fell" has been released via Amazon as a colour-illustrated, Kindle e-book.
