S19E43 - 342. A journey through time, land and community with country writer Nicola Chester

Award-winning countryside writer Nicola Chester joins the Plodcast this week in her home village of Inkpen in Berkshire to talk about her new book, Ghosts of the Farm.
In this amazing story, she weaves her own rural experiences with those of pioneering local farmer Julia White, who farmed in Inkpen in the 1940s and 50s and oversaw fundamental changes to agriculture and the landscape that have enormous ramifications today.

Nicola's book, Ghosts of the Farm, is published by Chelsea Green Publishing. <...
