A sideways look at the world through the eyes of a rustic; from politics to education; food fads to exercise; folklore to driving the country lanes and everything in between. A series of views on life taken from early morning chats with the irascible 'Neighbour Jim'. A gentle poke at the worlds absurdities while offering up solutions that only a true hayseed could devise whilst dishing up a healthy portion of disdain for authority and the nonsense that goes with officialdom. There's surprising dips into physics and astronomy along side observations on tractor sizes, fly tipping, the NHS, scones, fifty shades of hay and the heartbreaking 'Life of Patch'. Often amusing, sometimes informative, occasionally sad.
