This is a book reflecting back on my life, having been brought up on a farm in a small village, in rural England. Born in 1938 and still live not a mile and a half from where I was "dropped" It's about my early recollections of the end of World Wor 2, the rationing, the old characters who worked on the farms and estate through the years, about mother and father and family farming through more than sixty years, how they brought us up in the 1940's, four of us lads in the old farm house with no central heating and no mod com's. Some of the descriptions are in the form of poetry, and all of it is of what I have actually experienced through my seventy five years of life. It's in no particular order, and written as and when it came to mind. Cows and cattle, shire horses to tractors, workshop and welding, cooking and knitting, coffins and the wheelwright, blacksmith and mending, gypsies and wagons, school and college and many more stories of the village in between plus a sprinkling of pictures to boot. It does not all fit in this first book so there will be more volumes to come.
