These were simple one-roomed homes with a pointed thatched roof and walls made from wattle and daub (a mixture of mud and twigs). This book is the English language version of The Hill Farmer, by the charismatic and popular Gareth Wyn Jones, the Welsh farmer from Llanfairfechan North Wales. Gareth first came to prominence on our TV screens during the severe weather in March 2013 when film maker Matthew Knight followed him around his hill farm while he rescued sheep and lambs buried in snow drifts and the footage was shown on national news channels.

His was one of very few clinics to offer treatment with donor eggs to post-menopausal women, arguing that as long as they were fit and healthy there was no reason why they should not become mothers. They included Liz Buttle, the hill farmer from Wales who in 1997 gave birth to a son at 60 (though she had claimed to be 49 when she approached Craft). There was no subterfuge in the case of Lynn Bezant, who was 56 when she gave birth to twins in 2001 after treatment with donor eggs.

The uneasy feeling of entering a bunker is exacerbated by the real lamppost crashing through the awning inside, ripping up the floor as it falls, to the sound of distant gunfire. Or rather, the onomatopoeic words for gunfire from different countries round the world enunciated by Williams. These are so unalike – our British bang becomes an Austrian prap – as to render the whole subject properly absurd; one shouldn't be listening (or laughing) quite so hard. Another type of animal that gets reared to be eaten is not one you usually think of when you think of farming, but it’s eaten a The same year he moved to the Cromwell hospital and set up a dedicated assisted conception facility before transferring to the private sector in 1985, establishing fertility treatment at the Wellington hospital.

Gareth says his ambition is to bridge the gap between towns and the countryside. He believes getting the public to understand farming and food production would help sell produce. Since then Gareth has had two TV series of his own 'The Hill Farmer' and 'The Farmer and the Food chain' and appeared in countless other programmes including 'Come Dine with Me' and Snowdonia 1890. Thérèse Coffey, the secretary of state for environment, food and rural affairs, said: “Farmers are at the heart of our economy – producing the food on our tables as well as being the custodians of the land it comes from. These two roles go hand-in-hand and we are speeding up the rollout of our farming schemes so that everyone can be financially supported as they protect the planet while producing food more sustainably.”Following posts at Westminster, Kingston and Queen Charlotte’s hospitals, he was appointed professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at the Royal Free hospital in 1976. Under his care Europe’s first test tube twins were born to Jo and Stuart Smith in 1982. As well as agriculture, there is also aquaculture , where fish, seafood and aquatic plants are farmed. Craft was born in Wanstead, east London, one of three sons of Reginald Craft, a Barclays Bank employee, and his wife, Lois (nee Logan), who also worked in the bank before her marriage. He grew up in Woodford, attending first St Mary’s Convent there and later Dame Alice Owen’s school for boys in Islington. The farmer and his family came to national prominence in the aftermath of the severe snowstorm which hit their farm in the Carneddau mountain range of north Wales in March 2013.
