I just recently discovered your videos and am enjoying them immensely! I, too, love the authors you recommend, and I have another New England author you might like. Her name is Elisabeth Ogilvie and she wrote a series about a family living in a fishing village on a small island in Maine in the 1940s. The characters are fictitious but their way of life is the real deal. I've reread them many times!

Our ancestors came on the Mayflower and many still live in Massachusetts. Dad met Mom during WWII and moved to her home state of Washington where I have lived my entire life. I have never visited New England but it is on my bucket list! So much of my family history is there! I would love my name to be in the drawing!

So glad I found your channel via a search for Susan Branch. I also LOVE her and Tasha Tudor...big fan! I always dreamed of taking the Tasha Tudor house and garden tour too!!! I'm a big fan, and it's been on my bucket list for years. Also, I look forward to reading the other books you referenced since we have the same taste in books. I started watching your other vids and I live in MA. Lived here for many years...since I was a little girl...but dreamed of living in the English countryside. While I cannot make that dream come true...you have given me the idea of one day relocating within the New England area to a place more idealistic that might resemble the English country side. Thank you!
