Highlander, Your post reminded me of how my extended family lived. One of my uncles lived in a one room shack. Very few possessions but a huge Grandfather clock in one corner. No electric. An aunt of mine we used to visit had hurricane lamps for lighting and a stove, very little apart from that. We had a Larbert range in the kitchen and electricity! My father was in the Navy but his brothers were all shepherds. If I had to go back in time and had to live like that, it would be hard but I am sure I could do it. Nil Desperandum. Kenneth Eames.
