"The Guynd: A Scottish Journal" by Belinda Rathbone
Picked this up because Bas Bleu raved about it. I'm a bit disappointed ... I would dearly have loved more actual concrete examples of changes made to the house, descriptions of the house itself, descriptions of things done in the past to the house, dealing with living in / changing a listed house and property, and more information about living in the house and the life of the village and area around it. It seemed like one long skim of 10 years of life. Which is fine, in itself, but from other people's descriptions I expected more oomph.
I did enjoy reading the few bits about the changes she did make in the house, and enjoyed the interactions with neighbors and friends.
