Description
'Imagine', said Madge, 'if we could bring this village back to life, hear the sound of children playing again.'
'I have all the keys to the holiday lets,' muses George. 'What if we rent them out when nobody is looking?'
'Social recycling!' says Nigel. 'What could possibly go wrong?'
So the conspirators, fortified by the bravado of Briardale Brew and with the help of Snow Plough Dave, hatch a plan to rejuvenate a small Derbyshire hamlet.
'And one day', says Tommy, 'maybe even the Flying Heifer will be a proper pub again too!'

Person
Living in a small Derbyshire village gives Barbara Glasson the ideal setting for imagining The Flying Heifer. She shares daily walks in the Dales with her dog Grace and is reminded of her student days studying Agriculture in Nottinghamshire and her childhood in rural Kent. A life in community development and pastoral work has also proffered whimsical insights into the people around her which in turn give a humorous twinkle to the conspirators of Briardale.
