Thanks for all the votes and kind comments on The Painted Altar. I think you mentioned that maybe I'm not so interested line comments any more. And, yes, to a certain extent this is true given that three years have now passed since I wrote the novel. If however at any point in the future a publisher asks me to do a re-edit of the novel (a big, big if, I know) then the comments/feedback of engaged, intelligent readers such as yourself will be a goldmine. Did some farmers deliberately thin the rations of the Land Girls so their own family had more, as you hypothesised? Very probably. There could ne an interesting sentence/paragraph there in any eventual re-edit.
Once again, thanks for your support. Have a great summer.
