Description
'A new beginning and, whatever the weather, a time of hope ...' In a secluded valley filled with beech woodland and rough grazing, a timeless farmhouse welcomes all who arrive at its door. Good humour and misadventure run hand in hand with the people and animals, wild and tame, who call this little corner of Gloucestershire their home. A warm and life-affirming tale of country living from journalist Di Alexander.
