Summary:
In 1796 young farmer's wife, Anne Hughes, decided to start a diary to
"set down all that I do every day" and so, for 13 months we learn of
Anne's day to day life, of the butter maken that sometimes "was longe
time cummin" of collecting honey, pudden making, making merrie and of
all the social activities and hard work that was then the lot of a
farmer's wife. This is an extraordinary document, rediscovered in the
1930s, written by a young woman who lives and breathes in its pages.
