Description
In 1982 the Griffiths 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.
Author Biography
Chas Griffin was a college lecturer, living in a leafy Nottingham suburb, when he decided to move with his family to a farm in West Wales.
ReviewsI 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 -- Scott Pack * Bookbuyer * ... a Bill Bryson "down on the farm"... -- Alan Gear * HDRA *
