It`s a lovely, very readable story about the author`s incursion into the Welsh countryside, to live in a farm.It gives a wry, humane, affectionate view of a grand set of characters, from relatives to ex partners, friends, neighbours, and all and sundry. Her sketches of those who come easily into her narrative are as candid and warm, as are her relations with a wide variety of animals who are kept at the farm. If you have ever yearned living in the countryside, and specially in the UK, this is an enchanting book which will make you laugh - and cry, attimes. An opportunity not to be missed.
