Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Matt Baker's first-ever book is a diary of the natural year and a glimpse into family life on the farm, peppered with moments from his TV career throughout.
Away from the bright lights of hosting our favourite television programmes, Countryfile, The One Show, Blue Peter and many more, Matt Baker is happiest on the farm with his family, dogs, array of sheep, Mediterranean miniature donkeys and a whole host of wildlife in the farm's ancient woodland.
A celebration of the natural year, Matt Baker takes us on a journey through the seasons, his life on the farm and how the power and beauty of the countryside has made him who he is.

Absolutely superb
Just brilliant.. loved the enthusiasm from Matt’s reading this … an excellent audiobook I felt he was just sat next to me chatting away … so relaxed and made my journeys home from a stressful day at work so much better … totally distressed after listening to this each day by the time I got home
Matt certainly imparted the love of his family farm and caring for nature in this book x His humility shone through
Hoping there is a follow up to this one .More please 😁

Amazing guy who has more to him than I thought
As much as the jolly feel good Durham personality has grated on me in the past, I do realise that he is a hard man and the perseverance he's had through his life is amazing. He also cares a lot about the things that are important to our country and he's spent a lot of time raising awareness and putting time and effort into protecting and influencing those things (farming, education, sport etc.)
Just a wait until he gets knighted now.

Most excellent
After listening to this book (for about the third time) especially following the recent tv series, I would love to be adopted by the whole family. Matt's love for the farm, the area as well as his family is very touching and his sincerity is palpable. I am sure he could find plenty to talk about in another book and as soon as possible please. Lovely, natural narration.

Amazing book.
I remember Matt starting on Blue Peter and following his career from that point. Working in agriculture myself this book is brilliant at representing the struggles and joys of farming. Great listen.
