Product Overview
Pot of Gold is Meriel's honest and moving account of how she and her husband, Roger, learned how to establish a 'model' small farm in Herefordshire.
Well-off and well-to-do, Roger and Meriel were quintessential city dwellers. He was a senior manager at IBM, she was an actress and worked at the RSC and the National Theatre.Through sadness and joy they learnt the hard way how to be self-sufficient, how to rear pigs, sheep, poultry and cattle, how to milk a cow and work a horse, how to grow crops to feed them and how to cope with birth and death.
Roger and Meriel have found that there is indeed a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and that there are riches no money can buy.
