Just found these links.
First one for a book of Victorian farming see : http://books.google.com/books?id=i-g...tsec=titlepage
There is also a Victorian cookery book date 1861 see: http://books.google.com/books?id=70I...ve+all#PPP1,M1
There are chapters about hens, veggies, bee-keeping, etc etc etc..........even about mangel-worzels! Always wondered what THEY were.............. ???

Hehe we must be about the same vintage Karen! My hair curled by itself and all my life I've been trying to straighten it!
