Publisher's Synopsis
A Farmhand's Life Trevor Robinson has worked as a shepherd on the moor at Great Whernside in Yorkshire, and as a farmhand on a very different kind of farm near Leominster in Hereford. His book celebrates the details of traditional farm life: sheep shearing, lambing, the village hop, cheese and bread making, and trout tickling. This is an intimate and evocative account of an era before factory farming, when farmers worked closely with nature and the rhythm of the seasons, a smallholding could sustain a family, and there were enough small farms for a farmhand to climb the ladder to ownership.
