'A new beginning and, whatever the weather, a time of hope …' So begins Di Alexander’s cheerful account of the quirky characters who make Harcombe Farm so special. Good humour and misadventure run hand in hand with the people and animals, wild and tame, who call this little corner of the Cotswolds their home.
The Harcombe Year is a warm and life-affirming account of life with an eccentric octogenarian husband who can find calamity in the most ordinary of situations; a daughter with two young children who is preparing to move into the tiny house next door; and stray cats who pitch up at the door demanding shelter and care. Ready to discover real life in the Cotswolds? Join Di Alexander in a fresh new year at the farm.
