Between Earth and Sky

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Here I am between earth and sky -so help me God. I would sooner lose my life than go home as I am. Bread I want and bread I will have!
A reflection of rural life in Victorian England in three parts by Neil Philip With music by GEORGE AND ISOBEL DEACON
1: The Lads that can Keep Along the Plough
The life of the English farmworker in the 19th century was far from easy. It was ruled by poverty and hard work.
Nevertheless it was a life lived in community with others, a life lived close to the land, a life lived in tradition.
