Publisher's Synopsis
"It is my honest belief that for a twenty-year period, it was impossible for any person living in or around Chester not to have some aspect of their life touched by a business, association, or school, where David Pickering was not, somehow, involved." From the mid-1990s, everything that was the very core of Chester and Cheshire had in some way been affected by David Pickering. From the age of twenty years until the age of seventy-five, David found a way to cram something into every corner and crevice of his life, whether that be business, bike rides for charity or golf trips with friends. This book is the story of a family that rose from being farm labourers to landowners, and the story of one individual who simply refused to accept that you couldn't do more. It is an honest account of an ordinary man who has lived an extraordinary life.
