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.
