I was talking to my daughter about reading a book about an elderly lady who lived in a cottage in the Welsh hills or mountains, on her own, with no power or running water and was self sufficient (I think). Do any of you old stylers know the book I'm thinking of and can you tell me the title please?

Hannah Hauxwell wrote a few books which are often found in Charity shops these days. I enjoyed the one when they took her abroad and she was amazed at a revolving door which she hadn't seen before! Lovely woman
(Lived in Cotherstone by the way, just over the border into County Durham!) The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.
Thanks to everyone who contributes to this wonderful forum. I'm very grateful for the guidance and friendliness that I always receive from you.

My first thought was "Hovel in the Hills" but it could also be "Four Fields, Five Gates" by Anne L. Hill...?:happylove0
