Subject: Spanish farm Author: Liz Hart (hillbilly) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Friday 06 January, 2012 01:04:20 Dear Horatio, This isn't about birds but about your book Running for the Hills. I just can't tell you how so many of the things you wrote mirrored our own experience here, loving the mountain more than the man was one, your anxiety over your having to take on the responsibility of a father another. Are there many of us out there I wonder who decided where to make our "nest" for our children despite the reaction of the father. I have four amazing children, now in their 20s, they have gone through SO many similar experiences to you and Alexander without those terrible winters. I can tell you I was out there with your mum digging under the snow for her sheep. We were actually more abandoned than you and had very little contact with (aid worker!!)father. I can quite understand you seeing your mum as eccentric through your friends' eyes, goodness knows what village Spanish youngsters think/thought of me and our run down farm but in fact it has provided a "haven" for many of them throughout their youth. I hope you don't mind me writing to you but just had to. With best wishes for the New year, Liz Hart [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
