Summary

If Joe and Vicky had known what relocating to a tiny mountain village in Andalucía would really be like, they might have hesitated. 

They can have no idea of the culture shock in store for them...no idea they'll become reluctant chicken farmers and own the most dangerous cockerel in Spain...no idea they'll help capture a vulture and be rescued by a mule. 

Will they stay, or will they return to the relative sanity of England?

Excellent story and narration- where are the other books?

This is such a good book, light hearted and fun but exceptionally well written. The narrator is perfect. I love the books and this is such a humorous account of life with all it’s quirks. Jilly bond does great voices. Only issue is they only appear to have 3 books as audio. MORE PLEASE, do the rest of the series!

Loved this book. Real feel good factor.

Lovely book telling the story of a couple who took the plunge and moved their lives to Spain. Some good laughs along the way of their adventure.

Enjoyable

Only grumble I have with this book is there are a few bits of bad language but I understand why they are there.

No chickens for me

I enjoyed this book, life never runs smooth but can be fun. My only problem is why are black chickens given derogatory name ?

Pleasant but nothing special

An easy listen. A gentle entertaining book but shallow rather unrealistic characters and plot. not really my cup of tea.
