"I have to state right now that we never had any intention of
buying a farm. Least of all in South West Scotland. It wasn't one
of those nice, rational decisions that we all think we will make,
when the time comes. It was totally irrational and made absolutely
no sense at all - but we made it just the same " So begins a new
life for Jennie and her actor husband Conrad, star of the
long-running TV series, William Tell. This is the story of their
titanic struggles against cold, wind, drought, disease, illness and
ill luck of every kind in their establishing of a home and a viable
farm against the backdrop of a mountain called Skeoch. We feel with
the author the joy of bringing a newborn lamb back from the brink
of death, and the anguish of losing a herd of dairy cattle to
brucellosis. There is the day when the hay garnered at great pains
blows away along with the barn in which it was stored, and times
when financial ruin threatens. There are deprivations, born with
fortitude and good humour, but also the delights of introducing two
small daughters to life on the farm and the natural world around
it. This is an inspirational book which envelops you in its world
and has you feeling every disaster and every triumph as if you had
lived it.
