With their newborn baby, Lorna Sixsmith and her husband Brian James swapped their public service careers in the UK for the love of cows beneath Slievemargy's Brow. Lorna's grandfather George had inherited Garrendenny's 'shrubby wood, bog and decayed timber'. One of nine children, Lorna's father Joe devoted his life to modernising and improving the farm. Now Lorna's children play in the same fields. Recounted with Lorna's trademark wit, through these touching, heart-warming and often amusing stories of Joe's childhood in the 1940s, Lorna's of the 1970s and now her own children's, we share this journey down memory lane to glimpse rural life down the generations. Whether it was being on the back of a tractor to deliver milk, foraging for blackberries or bumping along grassy tracks atop quivering loads of straw, the long days of summer were filled with adventure.
