Title: Country Life: A story of peaks and troughs Author: Giles Wood, Mary Killen Narrator: Mary Killen, Giles Wood Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 16 minutes Release date: April 27, 2023 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. The Nutty Idyll Former townies Giles and Mary swapped city life for rural Wiltshire over thirty years ago, and they've each embraced it in their own very different ways. Mary has happily traded sophisticated London salons for monthly lectures at the Farmers' Club, competitive school quizzes, church interactions and local Auction House sales. While Giles has immersed himself in the catastrophic consequences of conventional farming, his organic no-dig veg-patch, the increasingly disproportionate response by local landlords to harmless trespassers and the strange death of the village house martins. For recent city escapees and indigenous country folk alike, Giles and Mary sift through the unhelpful dreamy myths and offer a practical reality, with robust back and forth on every aspect of life in rural outposts, including but not limited to planning wars, class wars, dog thefts, tree-felling fights, misunderstandings between incomers and natives and the role of the Heron Appreciation Society. The much-loved Wiltshire couple share their combined, hard-earned lessons, so we can learn the secret skills of grumbling and bumbling our way towards a new contented country life. ©2023 Giles Wood & Mary Killen (P)2023 Penguin Audio
