ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- In his role as the weatherman on the ABC, Graham Creed was always cheerful and energetic and so it was a shame when he left. His next steps however were to pursue a life in the country, on a farm with his partner, Bridgit, and in this memoir he tells of the challenges and 'reality checks' that came with being a city-dweller coming to terms with what life on a farm can entail. Most telling is his relationship with the weather which is now far more pressing, as he sees first-hand the effects of extreme weather events. Creed brings a refreshing candour about himself and his goals for the future of his patch of Australian bushland. Craig
