Apparantly a true story of a couple's self sufficient life in rural Wales.

Sandy, one of our WWoOFer guests, read this whilst we were away & tells me that it´s worth a look at. I´ll move it to the front of the shelf in that case, as I´d quite forgotton it was there!

This is the story of a couple who ´give it all up´ to move to the wild hills of Wales in the 60s. This book covers a period from the late 60s to 70s, so it´s a bit dated now. However, it was still an engaging read & I enjoyed it. The Wests are obviously a couple who loved their wildlife, & their attitude to gardening is terribly refreshing!
Apparantly there is a sequel called ´Garden in the Hills´ which it would be interesting to read, if only to find out what happens next.
This was a very quick & undemanding read. I read most of it in the car with the baby whilst escaping from a very dull meeting!
I´m going to put this book in our guest accommodation now, as my available books sometimes pick up new readers that way (though they´re not often journalled!).
