The Farm that Raised Me: Tales from a Breconshire Valley

Affectionate, evocative and illuminating, alive with dialogue but never misty-eyed, these stories trace day-to-day life on a traditional Welsh Marches farm before the onset of modern farming practices. Structured around the seasons, the book traces the narrator’s childhood and teenage years, living and working among a close-knit cast of stockmen, horsemen, shepherds and farm workers, under the watchful eye of his father. As well as sheep and horses, the farm is home to a celebrated herd of pedigree Hereford Cattle, which attracts buyers from around the world.
