The Farm Richard Benson

Just finished reading The Farm by Richard Benson. A quick and sometimes disjointed read but nonetheless it stirred deep memories of my early married life. My dearly beloved was farming in Devon, and it was in the early 1990's when we married, that his Dad could see the writing on the wall and sold up. Richard Benson talks about his struggle to reconcile his rural upbringing and his career as a penpusher and this too echoed our own sense of confusion about leading (and enjoying) the townie lifestyle we now have and our loyalty to our roots.
