Free Range and Flourishing: The Smallholder’s Year
Quiller
Anyone can enjoy the idea of a smallholding. It can be far from the scale of farming and need not involve acres of land. Vegetables grown in containers, dwarf fruit trees grown on the patio and a few chickens in the garden can be enjoyed by just about everyone.
This comprehensive guide provides a practical guide to growing fruit and vegetables, raising and caring for various animals and accommodating wildlife.
This book includes practical topics such as fencing, choosing the right field shelters and essential equipment for the smallholding and caring for various animals, including donkeys, ponies, sheep, goats, pigs and chickens.
Covering a year in the life of a smallholder, this book will encourage readers to be mindful of the seasons and enable them to understand the essential jobs that must be done all year round to keep livestock safe and healthy and the land productive. Only then can the smallholder enjoy a pleasurable and innovative lifestyle.
My Husband’s Child
Bad Press Ink
Kate, abandoned by her husband years ago, had learned to live a happy life in her tiny cottage in the countryside. She was fond of her own company, and despite his absence, Miles, her husband, had provided for her financially, probably more out of guilt than love. Now that he’s dead, she’s been left a very wealthy woman.
Then, suddenly, out of nowhere, Amelia explodes into her life, Miles’s daughter. The child he had kept a secret. The child who is hell-bent on getting what she thinks is rightfully hers.
As suspicion rages, Kate is overwhelmed by unanswered questions as her memories of Miles come flooding back.
Who is Amelia, and what secrets is she hiding?
