Scenes From A Smallholding

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.

Reviews

  • I was laughing out loud before I'd got past the copyright page. The book is a gem and Chas is a star in the making. The sort of author Richard & Judy was made for
