Second printing 1976. Signed and inscribed by the author. Small inscription. Some rubbing to the jacket. Anecdotes, photographs, and personal reflections.

The book skips playfully from topic to topic, resisting formal structure in favour of spontaneous storytelling. It covers farming, traction engines, motorcycling, and local institutions like the Pareora Football Club.
