When Lucy Pinney arrived in the lush Dorset countryside nearly 30 years ago she was newly married, very enthusiastic, charmingly naive and launched herself into pig-keeping, cake-baking and lamb-rearing with gusto. But nothing had prepared her for the essential oddness and precariousness of rural life. This funny, honest and affectionate memoir of a life spent learning to know and love the countryside, is a humorous, evocative and page-turning read.
