Chris Stewart invites readers back to his ramshackle farm in the beautiful Alpujarras mountains of southern Spain, where life unfolds at a gloriously unhurried pace amongst the almond groves. This charming memoir captures the simple pleasures of rural living: the annual almond blossom season, eccentric neighbours, and the daily adventures of a family determined to thrive in one of Europe's most remote corners.
With warmth and wit, Stewart shares tales of sheep-shearing disasters, encounters with local characters, and the peculiar challenges of raising a daughter in such splendid isolation. His affectionate observations of Spanish country life reveal both the comedy and contentment found in embracing a slower, more connected way of being. It's a delightful celebration of community, nature, and the rewards of following an unconventional path.
