Thanks again, Rachel.
I've found a copy and see that Edith stayed at Dousland for a longer spell in 1905!
Looking forward to accompanying her down the lanes of your world.

Many thanks Rachel.
I think it was this that I found online when hunting for pics yesterday, the Scottish Blackfaces and the text I found are not in the Diary!
We are lucky that she chose to stay at Dousland 120 years ago and that she described and painted what she saw so beautifully.

Thanks! I wasn't aware of a sequel so will hunt for that.

I've recently learnt that Edith Holden (Country Diary...) spent a Spring holiday in your part of the world, at Dousland in Walkhampton. Some nice descriptions and fine watercolours of a warmer and more fecund time of year.

Lovely light.
