As a city boy, all Philip Dixon wanted to be in life was a farmer,
but achieving that ambition would be a lot less straightforward
than he had anticipated! Starting work on a farm at the age of
fifteen, Philip finds himself handling some highly temperamental
bulls, meeting some very `witchy' women and encountering mysterious
country ways. Later he gets married, raises a family, acquires his
own farm and, along the way, becomes part of the Round Table team
that invented the charity plastic duck race! Enjoy Philip's story
as he makes progress in his farming career in the north east of
England from the 1960s to the mid-1980s, and meets some remarkable
characters, many of whom belong to an age all but lost to us.
Philip's story will, at times, have you laughing out loud and
weeping tears of sympathy, and will lift your spirits as you read
how he overcomes all life's setbacks to make plans for a brave new
future.
