Freda Lightfoot: July 2015

Inspiration for Luckpenny Land. Where the winter snows freeze the mains water supply in the field below the house every winter, as well as the battery in her car as it stands buried in snow in the yard. So I used those wonderful two words that writers love: What if? I began by interviewing Cumbrian farmers, who are stoic, strong, taciturn, and a tad distrustful of. I also spent ages reading the newspapers of the period, finding out what was on people’s mind and how they coped. But then I love r...Luckpen...
