Jeanine McMullen was a BBC producer in London when, some ten years ago, she went to Wales on assignment. There she fell in love--with Wales, its people, and most of all with the farm that, on an impulse, she decided to buy. In this delightful volume she recounts for us the joys and frustrations of living on her small holding. Here you will meet the people who helped her: among them "Mrs. P," her eccentric Australian mother; "The Artist," her less-than-steadfast boyfriend; the vet, Bertie Ellis, with his macabre sense of humor, and her neighbors, Gwyneth Griffiths and Myrddin Party.But above all there are her animals: Doli, the draft horse, who is Jeanine's closest confidante; the wayward goat Whacky; her beloved whippet Merlin; Douglas and Daisy, a pair of "highflying" geese; and assorted other sheep, cattle, pigeons, and cats--even a unicorn--all of whom come vividly to life in these pages. - Häftad, Engelska, 1980

Back home on the farm, Gorgeous the goat suffers from postnatal depression. Doli, Jeanine's beloved draft horse, leads her stallion astray, and their foal's horoscope is cast. And Lily, Jeanine's dog, engages in a battle of wits with an overweight squirrel, while Mrs. P., Jeanine's no-nonsense, ever-so-slightly eccentric mother, keeps everyone in order--up to a point. As Jeanine struggles to keep her farm, her mother, and her radio series together, she shows us that when your feet are stuck in the mud you can still look up at the stars.
