Synopsis

As featured on BBC Breakfast.

A warm, engaging and witty memoir from the star of Channel 5's The Yorkshire Vet.

Covering his bucolic childhood growing up on a farm right through to the heady days of his successful Channel 5 TV series, Peter's warm nature and professional attitude shine through every page.
