I had that book for Christmas this year. The only problem being that I already owned it Rolling Eyes

Still, it was a very thoughtful present, I just can't decide whether or not to tell my Uncle! I'm thinking there is no point, as when he visits, there *will* be a copy of it here. Anyway, that's my sister's birthday present sorted - she was asking me about the book the other day Laughing

I'm not sure I'd be brave enough for a "thunderbox". I'd love some system that did environmentally friendly things after the perfectly normal bathroom with flushing toilet Laughing

Lloyd had the book years and years ago, let his mad cousin in the mountains of North Wales borrow it...not been since.

So, new copy provided. It is good but in my opinion (for what its worth), he touches on every subject and if you want to try something you would have to delve deeper elsewhere for more precise information.

I'd agree with that, but it is always handy to have something with a low level introduction to a variety of things, and if any of them sparks your interest, you can research them further.

I want a Jersey cow, goats, a dairy, geese, ducks and still awaiting the spinning wheel apparantly on its way from the mountains of Wales.

Actually, peace and quiet would be really nice Laughing

Have to say I'm not a great fan of his at all. I do think it's great that he managed to make a living by telling people that he 'invented' the whole idea. Even better that his fans still tell everyone how great he is. Lack of depth in everything he writes IMHO.

My thoughts exactly, all very lovely but if you really want to do it properly, he has no depth of information to offer.

I think he is more about waving the "we can do this" flag, most encouraging but no depth.

He is a great inspirer though, and motivator for those who otherwise might remain "townies" for ever.
