Ripping Yarn
|
The book recreates the bemusement, hard work and ultimately triumphant feeling of those starting out on an allotment career. It shows how even when it's wet, cold and you'd rather be down the pub there is an attraction to allotmenting which can only be appreciated when you sit down to eat your results of your own efforts.
The characters are only slightly exaggerated and all that he records did happen (I know I'm the one with the long socks - read the book to understand). In short a bloody good laugh: the recipes are pretty good as well. Maybe this will do for New Zealand Spinach what Deliah did for cranberries!
