Yesterday’s Dumplings by Chrissie Pye

We would like to thank the Mrs Pye, her family and the publishers 'Lazy Daisy Publishing' for permission to publish this book on the Internet. The story is of one young girls experience of life in Watton in about 1925.

Daisies in the meadow, Horses by the gate,
Hens a’ scratching ‘round the yard, And dumplings on my plate.
