Paperback: My Life on a Hillside Allotment, by Terry Walton

A sort of real-life Bert Fry from The Archers, Terry Walton was an unassuming allotment gardener for 50 years before he was "adopted" by Radio 2's Jeremy Vine Show. His self-conscious mix of recipes, tips and guides to Welsh life in this book will annoy as many as it enthralls, but you've got to love anyone who can get the word "greenhouse" into a poem.
