The Special Years

Keith and Joan Syers are two ordinary working class people, who grasped the opportunity of taking an extraordinary job. Living and working in a remote area, Keith adopted a family of guineafowl, or guineafriends as he prefers to call them. But it wasn't until a border collie puppy called Tom came along that his life really changed, forging an unbreakable bond together. Their forays into the surrounding countryside and way beyond threw up a feast of quite remarkable, comical and unexpected experiences. The special years had begun. If you are a dog lover or appreciate the countryside, this true story has been written for you to enjoy.
