After the outbreak of World War Two, Nell and her sister Margaret moved with their mother to Perthshire, where all three got jobs at the \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eStanley Mill\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e. At the time, it was running full tilt to produce webbing for military requirements and despite long hours and austere conditions; Nell recalls her years as a mill lassie as being memorably happy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn conversation with folklorist \u003cb\u003eMargaret Bennett \u003c\/b\u003eand long-time friend and fellow-singer, \u003cb\u003eDoris Rougvie\u003c\/b\u003e, Nell shares a life-time of reminiscences and songs. In recalling the hey-day of an industry that shut down in the 1980s, she constructs an oral history of life in war-time Perthshire. Then, following life's paths with its twists and turns, Nell tells how, at the age of sixty-nine, she discovered her gift of singing and entertaining. Having made her first recording, a cassette, at the age of seventy, and her fifth, a CD, at the age of 90, Nell can hold an audience in the palm of her hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Doris Rougvie,Margaret Bennett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1907676384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781907676383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grace Note\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/24\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.31d","brand":"Doris Rougvie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47474264244479,"sku":"9781907676383","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_753dab27-880e-4a3d-bcd0-cba091bd6aeb.jpg?v=1762315739","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nell-hannah-doris-rougvie-9781907676383","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
