Slow progress.

This book was highly recommended but I just can't seem to get in to it. I'll go back to it later and try again.

😍

When I saw an audio ARC for this, I knew there was no way I could say no. Especially with auto-approval. It’s adorable!

新翻拍剧里好像把Siegfried的整个キャラ都改了哈哈……暴躁易怒固执己见是更能制造冲突。期待读到Tristan出场

Put it aside for now. Not in the mood for this.

Leave me alone - I’m back at home in Yorkshire.

Leave me alone, I’m at hone once more in the Dales.

It’s so lovely and charming

I have a feeling this author will get me through anymore lockdowns ;) The humour and style of writing is completely on point!!

currently stopped at chapter 47

Delightful stories...Hilarious even if sometimes too much medical detail ...

Rereading since Masterpiece is remaking

Working on a horse with a tumor in its belly.

Herriott gets called to help a pig deliver her piglets.

The stock-keeping project was at an end,

Herriot goes to do a tuberculin test on a group of cattle.

Herriot accepts a job with a Dr. Farnon.

Cute...great character stories from this new English veterinarian. I'm not grabbing for more, so I'm not getting through the book. It , for some reason, would be a great airplane book for me ;) But it's made me laugh & cry!

Herriot arrives in Derbyshire for a job interview.

Helping at the birth of a baby calf.

“Yet what made him trail down that hillside every day in all weathers? Why had he filled the last years of those two old horses with peace and beauty? Why had he given them a final ease and comfort which he had withheld from himself?
It could only be love.”

“Probably it was because I hadn’t dreamed there was a place like the Dales. I hadn’t thought it possible that I could spend all my days in a high, clean-blown land where the scent of grass or trees was never far away; and when even in the driving rain of winter I could snuff the air and find the freshness of growing things hidden somewhere in the cold clasp of the wind.”

“That man in the picture had just finished an excellent lunch and had moved next door to do a bit of calving just for the sheer pleasure of it, as a dessert.”

“My mind went back to that picture in the obstetrics book. A cow standing in the middle of a gleaming floor while a sleek veterinary surgeon in a spotless parturition overall inserted his arm to a polite distance. He was relaxed and smiling, the farmer and his helpers were smiling, even the cow was smiling. There was no dirt or blood or sweat anywhere.”

“They didn’t say anything about this in the books, I thought, as the snow blew in through the gaping doorway and settled on my naked back.
I lay face down on the cobbled floor in a pool of nameless muck, my arm deep inside the straining cow, my feet scrabbling for a toe hold between the stones. I was stripped to the waist and the snow mingled with the dirt and the dried blood on my body.”

“They didn’t say anything about this in the books,”...

Cute little stories in each chapter...one already made me cry!

Love it!

Very good start
