  This gallery was designed and written by Paul Smith, whose home was Windwhistle Farm from 1921 until his retirement  sixty two years later , when he moved into the village. It represents a personal view of  farming in Winsham, based on long experience, and of the farming industry over the greater part of the twentieth century.
The full story of his life between the two World Wars can be found in his book ,"Landing Gently", published by Wolfgang Publishing.
