Pam Ayres is pure heaven!

It started a bit 'Radio 4', twee and corny, but just got better and better. I wish there was a TV show with Pam, Gordon and Felicity.

No Hard Luck Stories Here

In this touching collection Pam Ayres explores all the trials and tribulations that make life magical. From her childhood in rural poverty to her career as a poet, her love of the land, her travels and her family, each subject is lovingly visited with some laughter along the way.

Undervalued national treasure

I was unaware of the radio programme series when originally broadcast but came across them later. Pam’s way of describing life and events in her inimitable way is so clever, managing to sum up all our emotions, experiences and hopes and dreams in verse. I’ve listened to the episodes multiple times and enjoy every one immensely.

Excellent

Gentle chat and poems interspersed with small skits by the three of them. Does not include the garden- centre shows.
