Flipping Heck!: (or How not to work with animals) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

When she first saw the old farmhouse with its period features and extensive surroundings our intrepid protagonist envisaged a blissful life in the country with her family, dogs and eternal calm. Little did she realise her neighbours would try to persuade her to "foster" their livestock on her lovely, empty land, her teenage children would view the move as a violation of their rights to a decent life and she would somehow end up trying to run a small holding virtually single-handed.With good humour, great effort and seemingly boundless energy she sets out to transform both her new (and rather decrepit) home and her own life. The resulting narrative is entertaining, surprising, informative and sad in turns as she moves through the year, facing new challenges and different experiences.A cross between "Escape to the Country" and "The Good Life", this is not a manual or guidebook but a frank and funny look at the realities and absurdities of trying to build a new life on your own terms.
