I enjoyed this book, particularly as my mother was from Bampton Grange and my aunty was evacuated there from Barrow-in-Furness. I recognised some of the names and places and it brought back happy memories. We used to go every summer for our holidays to my grandparent's farm and help with the hay timing. Happy days.

Bob has a dog in the Ashington venicular. Lovely book know the location very well, as I worked for many years in the area. Also knew two of the characters, as adults.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Being from the North East it was wonderful to be transported back in time and reading all the Geordie phrases. Bit disappointed with the ending only because I wanted it to go on.
