Hi, Ruth.

The dictionary definitions are:

smallholding // n. Brit.
an agricultural holding smaller than a farm.

smallholder // n. Brit.
a person who farms a smallholding

The place I used to run was just eight acres, near Abbots Bromley in Staffordshire.

The 'Killing Rabbits' story I mentioned above was based on my time there.

Thank, Diana.

I'll have to write you a thank-you song when I get my right arm back again.

It's aching like crazy! I've got arm toothache!

Thanks for listening, Catherine. Glad you liked Shower the People. It's one of my favourite songs. Better with an audience singing the chorus at the end, though.

As for my pain - it's good for me. God putting me in my place!Wink
