You can check whether roots are growing properly if you want but 3 weeks usually does it.Downshiftingpathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00046640631739567120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21090954.post-31918578276199541322008-09-25T16:29:00.000+00:002008-09-25T16:29:00.000+00:00Thank you for this post.

Before reading it I was concerned with leaving behind the final trappings of modern<BR/>life which may not be accessible in Cornwall but now realize I have so much to take their place.<BR/><BR/>I'm buying a copy of your book for my husband I know he'll enjoy it as much as me.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for writing it."<BR/><BR/>I hope you don't mind but I thought it might therefore appeal to you too, as she has you on her blogroll.<BR/><BR/>Here's the Amazon reference but it is published by Phoenix in paperback and was published by Weidenfeld & Nicholson last year.<BR/><BR/>http://www.amazon.co.uk/Place-My-Country-Search-Rural/dp/0753823888/ref=pd_sbs_b_title_14<BR/><BR/>If your blog has heaps of traffic I may even be able to get my publisher to send you a free copy if you tell them that you will review and blog about it, but they are rather mean when it comes to bloggers! (Why is beyond me.)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, there it is. Again, hope you don't object to this shameless self-promotion.<BR/><BR/>Kind regards,<BR/>Ian<BR/>www.ianwalthew.com<BR/>P.S You might also be interested in a hobby of mine: www.farmblogs.blogspot.comIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07857867583072689277noreply@blogger.com
