Tom Pemberton's new book: Make Hay While the Sun Shines: A year on the farm. This book takes us behind the farm gate and follows a year on the farm: from calving to maintaining machinery, from mucking out to planning and building a brand-new cow shed.

Tom gives us a unique insight into everyday life on a busy dairy farm with all its highs, lows and hard graft. Full of heart, amusing anecdotes and unforgettable characters like Tom's dad, Andy - aka the Ginger Warrior - this is Tom's story of - determination, adventure and how to keep a smile on your face even when you're knee-deep in cow poo.

I thought this was an interesting read, Tom comes across as affable, hard working, and so passionate about farming. I learnt a lot, I'll definitely be checking out his YouTube stuff!

It was a teeny bit dry and technical for me at times but overall I enjoyed it.
