About The Book

Back-breaking days of lifting potatoes; excruciating hours of pulling thistles; total inadequacy when faced with a group of belligerent sows - these are the stories that Pat Peters recalls.

Others, like Pat, who became a farmer's wife in Cornwall, stayed in the countryside for the rest of their lives.,
