A Farm of Our Own

Graham R. Irwin


This is the true story of two people who buy a small-holding in the 1980s. An entertaining read. They didn't know much about looking after animals. They don't really think things through and everything they try goes wrong. After ten years they finally give up. The book is not that well written - mainly of interest to potential small-holders. Caroline would have liked to have seen more details of the personal side - e.g. what was it like for his partner?

The best aspect of this was the story of how Seán came to read it. He bought it second hand from a shop after his wife Caroline had dumped it there only days before saying what rubbish it was. Seán had to agree, after only a page or two, but having paid a further £1 for the pleasure.
