Scenes From A Smallholding - Chas Griffin - Bog - Ebury Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Scenes From A Smallholding - Chas Griffin - Bog - Ebury Publishing - Plusbog.dk

In 1982 the Griffins left the security of suburbia to grow garlic in West Wales. This is a funny and sometimes touching, warts-and-all account of their first three years: of how they learned lambing and marketing and ploughing and hay-making: and of the dung-sodden joys of milking and the surreal terrors of bee-keeping. Be amused. Be very amused. Scenes from a Smallholding is by turns challenging, touching, and informative; but above all, it is very funny.

A Boy's Own Dale - Terry Wilson - Bog - Ebury Publishing - Plusbog.dk

A Boy's Own Dale - Terry Wilson - Bog - Ebury Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Growing up in rural Yorkshire in the 1940s and 50s, Terry Wilson spent his school days hunting down Just William books, cutting up apples to help with fractions and staring out the window dreaming up new schemes. But it was on the Dales themselves that Terry came into his own. Whether he was ''out-fishing'' the adults with his homemade rod, grouse-beating for the lady of the manor, helping to bring in the farmers'' hay in exchange for rabbit shooting rights, or growing his own prize caulis, his idiosyncratic and inventive mind is only matched by his love of nature. Told with affection, dry humour and a respect for the landscape and its people, through Terry''s eyes we meet farmers, mill owners and ''gentlemen of the road''. Beautifully illustrated with newly-commissioned line-drawn illustrations by Don Grant, A Boy''s Own Dale is a magical memoir of a long-lost world.
