My True Love for Farming

Despite a poor education and not being able to spell, I have always had an interest in writing. I kept a daily diary supplied by the National Union of Railwaymen during my employment at British Rail. When I started a landscaping business in 1980, keeping a diary became even more important. In 1985 I answered an advert offering further education. My teacher like me had lived in Wraysbury and Ibsley. She encouraged me to write about my early years, family and farming. Despite my challenges, I am proud to say I wrote my story. I hope you enjoy it. Christopher Brettell
