Since the age of 35, following the deaths of her parents and uncle, she lived a self-sufficient life without electricity or running water at Low Birk Hatt Farm. What most enchanted people about Hannah was that she survived sixty years of gruelling work and weather with unimpaired serenity and good humour.

SEASONS OF MY LIFE is an enduring and affectionate look at rural life in a world where everything is changing.
