We ran out of water frequently and always had to be very careful about our usage. <br />So many things we take for granted and when we have to temporarily go without it's very annoyingAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886333496997952719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-4881066862363318122012-11-06T15:43:51.285-05:002012-11-06T15:43:51.285-05:00I remember when we had to boil our water before we...I remember when we had to boil our water before we could drink it.

A TV programme stunned me, it was about a wonderful lady called Hannah Hauxwell - they did a small series about her -she was a 46 year old spinster that looked after Low Birk Hatt Farm after her family had died. Water was from the beck a good way from the farm and on the programme it shows her going down and breaking the ice before she can draw water with her bucket, then carrying it back. She is still alive and enjoying her now easier life in a small cottage. Point is I am thankful for my modern comforts :)Duxbury Ramblershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171959685125369534noreply@blogger.com
