Overview
This is an utterly charming history of life at Yew Tree Farm in Mere, home to Walter Wright and his family for more than 80 years. From the time when Shire Horses pulled the ploughs and gossip at the blacksmith's forge was the way that news was circulated, through to the introduction of combine harvesters and modern farming methods, Walter's memories of living and working on the land are presented here. But these stories of land girls and soldiers, tramps, overzealous salesmen, rabbit breeders, rat catchers, and—of course—country vicars are also something more. This book is a history of life in the country as it used it be.
