Dear All
It's a long shot I know, but does anyone recognize a book about someone's real-life account of living in a half-ruined Welsh cottage.
They had problems with damp and had to paint the walls yearly (and stay away from them) as well as having numerous other hardships with crops and livestock.
Does it ring any bells? Any replies gratefully received as my Google mojo seems to have deserted me in this case!
