ON THE FARM: Carol Graham with Zulu the zwartble
LOCKDOWN provided the ideal opportunity for a former teacher to complete her memoirs of life in the North Pennines.
A Shoulder on the Hill was published in December and author Carol Graham is delighted with the response since it was released with readers describing it as “unputdownable” and “the ideal tonic for the lockdown blues”.
The 336-page paperback book, published by Wagtail Press in Hexham, mixes tales of life at 1,150ft restoring an historic dale home into a popular bed and breakfast
with humorous anecdotes of building up a flock of sheep and caring for hens.
