[Charlie Flindt]

And if you DID order on eBay, and you were happy with it, can you give us a good 'feedback'? I can't do a 'bulk' listing until I've built up enough of 'em - I'm having to relist continuously at the moment!

 

[masseybreaker]

done that for you

Is it all original, or a compilation of your FW articles, like Clarkson did ?

It's a diary from 2015, so it's original. Every evening, I sat down and did a long write up of the day (so a bit like a FW article), and, blow me, managed to do the whole year. It sat on my computer doing nothing for three years, and then I thought I ought to get on and do something with it. It's different to most farming books, bacause they tend to be the 'niche' farmers - I haven't read one about us standard, conventional farmers since Haggard's 'A farming year' - and that was set in 1895, I think! Anyway, there's one up on eBay now...

Just out of interest, why not an ebook? I thought that was the up to the minute thing these days? And are you doing print-on-demand? Presumably not if you have them stacked in the living room!

 

[Charlie Flindt]

'Cos it's aimed fairly and squarely at good old-fashioned farmers....hence the 'pay by cheque' option on the main website! If When the first pile vanishes, we're going to have a think about other formats and options.

Excellent! I hope you enjoy it...My combine has a flat tyre, I have a press car to test for The Field magazine, the forecast is good, and I have got to get some copies to the wholesalers. I'm having a harvest awayday today!!! Yaaay - something other than wheat to stare at!

Oh yeah @spin cycle you need to write your memoirs too, can book printers , do emojis?

 

[pine_guy]

@Charlie Flindt you need to list another copy

 

[David.]

It occurs to me, having now read and enjoyed it, what brilliant value for money a sofa represents.

 

[Charlie Flindt]

Like me he spelt it wrongly, it’s ok when you spell it right.

I’ll send a cheque cos I don’t do eBay!

(PS Charlie you might like to spellcheck the website...........)

Did you do a cheque in the end?
