Joan Bomford has lived all her life in the lush rolling countryside of the Vale of Evesham, where cows graze the water meadows of the River Avon and modern life seems far away. Farming is in her blood. Generations of her family have worked the land, and in this autobiography, Joan tells us with warmth, wit and great insight what it's been like to live through an era of such enormous change. Now aged 83, Farmer Joan is still as active as ever: making hay, feeding the farm's beef cattle and running the riding school that she dreamed of as a child. A natural storyteller, she shares here many heart-warming and magical events.
