Doon the Road by Charlotte Grey
This is the third and final volume in Charlotte Grey's funny, poignant and fascinating autobiography about the demands of farming the land. "Doon the Road" is the third and final volume in Charlotte Grey's mesmerising trilogy describing life as a cattle farmer in rural Scotland. The previous volumes, "No Fancy Life" and "Tric-Trac" (both from Book Guild Publishing) brought readers to the point where Charlotte and her husband John had finally got to grips with the demands of a farming life. In "Doon the Road", the author describes the last years at Bithnie farm as the couple come to accept that, while they can conquer most practical problems, they cannot resist growing old. Retirement beckons and Bithnie farm must be handed over to younger blood. Poignant, funny, informative and lyrical, "Doon the Road" stands as a tribute to personal achievement and to all those who farm the land against all the odds.
Charlotte Grey was born in Burley-in-Wharfedale, West Yorkshire and has recently moved back there. Her first book, No Fancy Life, was published by the Book Guild in 2001. This was followed by the sequel, Tric-Trac in 2003. Doon the Road is the third and final volume of the trilogy.
