Farming and family life are at the heart of this delightful memoir set in the Sussex countryside. From 1949 to 1997, Frithwood Farm was the cherished home of the Lerwill family: Berns and Consuelo, and their three children Hugh, Rhona and Angela. Although an idyllic location for the youngsters to grow up in, it was hard work for their parents as they tended the land and cared for the animals - as well as their own brood. Reflecting on those years, youngest daughter Angela has vividly chronicled many of her own - and others - favourite recollections. Told with humour and honesty, this detailed account also provides a fascinating insight into the immense changes that were happening in British farming. Big business would soon dominate agriculture. Small farms were being swept away or swallowed up by larger enterprises, and the Lerwills faced a constant struggle to maintain Frithwood and their livelihood. In addition to family, farming and country life, Angela recalls friends, neighbours and animals, together with significant moments, and highlights of the rural year. Colourful descriptions of flora, fauna and the glorious Sussex landscape further enhance the reminiscences. Elements of social, family and agricultural history are interwoven to create a charming and realistic portrait of British rural life, that has now, sadly, been lost forever.
