Question Hope Bourne

I've just finished reading a book called Wild Harvest by Hope Bourne & would say to anyone who hasn't read it to get a copy.
It was first published in 1978 & has been reprinted twice since,it tells her story of been self sufficient on remote farms.
It says so much about how we live our lives today & when you consider it was written 30 years ago i dread to think what she would think now.
I've mentioned before that i have all her books & strongly recommend them all, i'm fascinated about the way she lived, i know that would have been the norm many years ago seems a shame how things have changed.

I have all her books & have read most of the stuff on the internet but i'm trying to get hold of the tv programmes she's done.
If anyone knows where i might be able to get hold of these it would be most appreciated.

As i said, i strongly recommend Wild Harvest even if you get it from a library it's well worth a read.

Hope this wets your appetite
