Family Articles And Family Product Reviews

Growing up in the beautiful landscape that surrounds llkley in Wharfedale inspired Alan's early passion for nature. It was his Grandpa Hardisty who - with his allotment - encouraged Alan's first gardening skills.

With the sharpest eye for detail and vivid recall Alan brings to life the various family members, school friends ~ and foes ~ teachers and local

characters who became the powerful early influences of his life.

A joy from beginning to end and wonderfully read by the author, this is a classic childhood memoir.
