Hooray! All the folkloricly related text from a second book has been fully transcribed!
Surrounded by torn up bits of paper that where book marks. Phew!
Getting Hunts' Romances of the West of England done is a long term goal, but for the moment I will attempt to tidy up a few lose ends, such as Hope's Holy wells (Cornwall is all I have left to do there - the biggest entry of them all, of course.)
Our baby is not sleeping much at the moment, and I am going alternate with my wife all night, so I may not manage more than a Holy Well a day.
Oh well, at least Cresswell 1921 is now officially finished! My favorite thing she mentioned was the Horse pick-me-up...
