This book takes you on a wild ride following the author's journey which begins with her impulse purchase of a little more of a country house (aka cottage) than she really needed. In for the penny, in for the pound, she relays her tales of fixing it up and entertaining house guests, in addition to battling bugs, supporting the local economy and dealing with the vicissitudes of weather, storage, gardening, yoga, installing an illegal clothesline, and more. The Bucknoll Cottage Chronicles will give you a greater appreciation for the joys and challenges of country living. A cautionary tale, a good story, and some hearty laughs. -- Amazon. |
