A Shepherd’s Watch: Through the Seasons with One Man and His Dogs by David Kennard
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
From the fella behind Mist The Sheepdog, this takes us through a year in the life of a working sheep farm in North Devon. To be fair, I only really wanted to read about the dogs, so all the gubbins about the inner machinations of farming, and his family life washed over me. But I’m sure others will be enthralled. Me, I was happy to read about Greg, Swift, Gail, Fern and the troublesome Ernie. He has an easy writing style, and I’d rattled through the book before I knew it. Personal misgivings aside, I’ve got the next instalment lined up.
