Hannah Hauxwell has become an unlikely celebrity. Many people have been fascinated by the story of the solitary woman farmer living a life of hardship on a remote Pennine farm, without electricity or running water. This is an omnibus edition of her two books, "Seasons of My Life" and "Daughter of the Dales". Hannah recounts life at Lower Birk Hatt Farm, revealing her love of the countryside and animals and her reluctance to give up her beloved home in spite of its toll on her health. Having retired to a nearby cottage, she tells of her new life and her travels around the country, as well as the story of her past and the childhood and courtship of her parents.

A story of how easy it can be to become 'forgotten' and cut off from everyday life and services that we take for granted and in many cases - demand. Hannah's story is thought provoking in that my reaction was - what if the televison producer Barry Cockcroft had not come across her lonely farmhouse ...... how much longer could she have realisticly survived on her megre income, dressed in rags and living in a dilapidated farmhouse with no heating, lighting or running water? Hannah is a survivor in the very best tradition of the work hard, don't complain and count your blessings generation. Inspiring.
