All Cheeses Great and Small: A Life Less Blurry

This is the story of Alex James`s transition from a leading light of the Britpop movement in the 1990s, to gentleman farmer, artisan cheese-maker and father of five.”I was hanging around the pigsty in the way I`d previously hung around at The Groucho Club. I felt wonderfully connected, grounded in the real world, standing in pig muck”Following fifteen years in Blur, Alex James did two wild, unexpected things. He fell in love and he bought a farm.Moving into a rambling, chaotic farmstead in the beautiful Cotswold countryside, he decides the best way to learn about farming is the same way he learned most about music: by jumping in and doing it. As his family settles in, he discovers the unexpected joys that country life abounds in: finding the first egg from your very own chicken, coming across a bramble bush laden with blackberries, roasting home-grown pears on an open fire, before stumbling on a new venture – making cheese.Wonderfully warm, witty and perfectly observed, this is the story of what to do after you`ve been the bass player in one of the best bands in the world, and a life-affirming tale of just how much fun growing up and settling down can be.
