In their own words, this is the very personal story of the ups and downs of the Nicholson family at Cannon Hall farm spanning almost 70 years. From the death of Roger's beloved dad Charlie to the daily struggle for survival amid farming's rapidly changing landscape, the Nicholsons have weathered storm after storm. They came perilously close to losing it all as a lifetime of farming tradition seemed to slip through their fingers. But in a daring last roll of the dice, they bet the farm - and won - creating against all odds one of Britain's best-loved tourist attractions. Here, Roger and wife Cynthia, along with their sons Richard, Robert and David, take turns reflecting on some of the dizzy highs and crushing lows that have made them who they are today: champion livestock breeders, TV stars and - above all - devoted farmers. The Nicholson Family, as seen on Channel 5's hit shows, Springtime on the Farm, This Week on the Farm and Cannon Hall: A Yorkshire Farm, are Sunday Times bestsellers from their debut book Living Their Best Lives.
