Özet

Ian Moore is a stand-up comedian in the UK and a husband, father of three boys, farmhand and chutney-maker in France. He is a mod in both walks of life and most of his time is spent travelling grumpily between the two. Comedian, mod and professional grump Ian Moore has had enough. Tired of being unable to park anywhere near his cramped house in a noisy town he doesn’t like, he hatches a plan to move his wife and young son to a remote corner of the Loire Valley in search of serenity and space.

Several years later, Ian finds himself up to his neck in bilingual offspring, feral cats, promiscuous horses, dysfunctional spaniels and needy hens; he’s wrestling with electric fences, a foreign language, a mountain of animal waste and a wife who collects livestock like there’s a biblical flood on the horizon, all while trying not to dirty his loafers.

But despite the ups, downs and increasing demands of Ian’s showbiz career, the Moore family persevere in true Brit style to create a unique, colourful and ultimately rewarding life in their new home - a la campagne and a la mod!

Great story of a family settling into French life, great humour, well narrated, then to find out there is another book.... Already in my basket!

I suffer from tinnitus and cannot go to sleep unless there’s something playing. I think I have listened to this literally thousands of times. It’s still funny and Ian’s voice is soothing. My daughter love it too.

I loved this book and it's companion volume 'Ce't Modnifique' - they were both such a wonderful surprise. The narration is excellent - I was not aware of Ian Moore as a stand-up comedian but his voice is perfect for telling the amusing and moving story of his family's life France and the various animals they adopt. I would recommend this to anyone.
It is not a twee 'we moved to France' book - it is a down to earth amusing read.

Loved this book and its narration

Simply one of the best books I have ever listened to! Hugely entertaining, laugh out loud funny, educational and beautifully written. The language and construction is truly excellent - not something that can be said of many books. The humour is dry but made me cry with laughter at points. Honest to a fault. On to the sequel.

Oh, and the author's narration is perfect not just because his tone is right - obviously - but because his voice is really nice to listen to and always appropriate.

Just brilliant, very, very fun & occasionally sad

I was very much amused. This should have been enough said but I have to leave a 15 word minimum.

It made look me mad on the from laughing outloud on the train.
