Making Flop Bott a Household Word Since 2002
Hi — I wondered if you would be interested in a link to an artcile on Brian Nettleson (“Calum Buchanan”) — I found it very hard to get nay biographical information on him and found this in a sheepdog publication. Very interesting…

(the article is on page 8)
Cheers,
Gail Mackiernan
Hi Gail. I’m a 45 year old fan of animal stories but especially of Mr Herriot. Someone I wish I could have known on a personal level. His self-effacing stories have never ceased to delight. If only I could get my hands on all of them. As it is, I’ve just finished reading Every Living Thing for the fourth time (I read it once every few years LOL).. May The Lord God make more people like him (no pun intended).
Very grateful for the article on Calum Buchanan (which I’m about to read). A truly “rum feller” indeed..
Thanks again

I wonder if any one knows the real location of Mrs bonds house in the series “all creatures great and small ” ,thank yoi
