Product Description

Synopsis
This is the humorous account of how the young James Robertson set out for lush fields of Devon to turn grass into gold via the medium of milk. It only took an encounter with his first cow to make him realize that he would need the survival instincts of the SAS to appreciate this rural idyll.

Lovely read, funny and bound to bring back memories of experience you have had within the farming industry. We spend many happy hours reading and remembering our own experiences. Lovely lighthearted read, for those been in farming, so well understood...

5.0 out of 5 stars Any fool?, 24 Nov 2008
By rockdrill (cornwall) - See all my reviews
This is James Robertson's second autobiographical account of his farming experiences, this time 5 years with a dairy herd in the middle of Devon.

It is written in an enjoyable easy to read style and there is hardly a page turned where some situation doesn't invoke a laugh from the reader.

I would rate this as one of the funniest and most enjoyable books to read and always seems to end too soon. The author has a great way of painting a scene with words - his description of a short legged bull squaring up to jump a barbwire fence will make you cringe and laugh.
