A Shepherd's Tale

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A strand of common sense and rural wisdom stretches between the 16th-century farmer Thomas Tusser, author of 500 Points of Good Husbandrie and Tommy Purdham, sheep farming today in Cumbria.
Eric Robson has compiled an impression of Tommy Purdham's farming year with its ever present echoes of Tusser.
