TELLING TALES: GROWING UP ON A HIGHLAND FARM

Growing up on a farm in the north of Scotland was both rewarding and challenging. With their father dead and their mother taken up with writing journalism, Jane and her little sister Elizabeth were often given tasks by Dod, the farm grieve. The extra income meant a lot, and the girls learned to either keep themselves useful or out of the way. Bestselling author Jane Yeadon recounts her childhood before her nursing adventures started, in this nostalgic account of a way of life which used to be widespread and has now vanished.
