Wintry tales from a life spent working with animals
'There is something magical about Christmas on a farm..'
Wrap up warm and retreat to the wintry countryside with farmer and TV presenter Adam Henson, as he recounts his Christmas memories tending to an assorted cast of animals, and celebrates the farmers who make our celebrations possible.
'As a farmer, Christmas is a rare chance to slow down, reflect and to think about the year ahead, but it's also about old traditions and everything the festive season brings. It's wonderful to celebrate as generations have done before and bring back fond memories. In this book I tell stories from my childhood and my children's, and share wintry tales of the animals we care for on the farm and the wildlife that live all around us. There are reminders of how farmers all over the country are heroes behind your Christmas Day feasts and where some of the fascinating wintry folklore comes from.
My recent Christmases - because of Covid, and something that's shaken my family to the core - have meant more to me than I can explain in this short preamble. So make yourself a warm drink, pop a blanket on your knees and let me tell you about Christmas at Bemborough Farm...'
