A celebration of rural heritage, local wisdom and the sayings that have stood the test of time.

A Little Book of Rural Sayings brings together a wonderful collection of traditional expressions, words of wisdom and familiar sayings contributed by local people, capturing the humour, character and knowledge that make our rural communities so special.
Some will make you smile, others will bring back memories, and many will remind you of the voices and stories of generations gone by.
More than just a collection of sayings, this little book is a celebration of our shared rural identity and a way of preserving these treasured expressions for generations to come.
