Description

Brindley Hosken's farm, Withan, is a difficult, hilly patch of ground situated on the Lizard peninsula in the south of Cornwall.

His land runs down to Frenchman's Creek. One of the most peaceful, beautiful, and restful spots you are ever likely to find today.When Brindley was asked to write a farming column for the local magazine, The Meneage Messenger, in 2007, he could not have known where it would take him.

Developing a love for writing, his second book, Up Long Meadow, chronicles the history of his farming life over sixty years.

As farming has changed from primarily manual, physical work to more tractor-driven he explores how, as a farmer, he has adapted to the changes that have been deemed progress.His love of Cornwall and especially his locality on the south side of the Helford River shine through in this book, and hopefully will give the reader an understanding of the myriad of different histories and life stories that each farm and farmer have.
