'The Lighter Side' is about maintaining the correct focus and angle of light in one’s life so to remain grateful and optimistic. It gives a first-hand insight into the breakdowns and depression that have served to ground Fennel's writing, and provides plenty of lifestyle stories to make you laugh and think. It’s about knowing that there’s always light and dark, but keeping moving so to stay in the metaphorical daylight.
Fennel’s Journal is the heartfelt and entertaining account of one man’s search for an old-fashioned and peaceful rural life. Written by English countryman Fennel Hudson, the Journal traces his attempts to balance the pressures of modern living by following the mantra of ‘Stop – Unplug – Escape – Enjoy’.
Brought to life by a mixture of thought-provoking and humorous incidents, Fennel’s writing is deeply personal, self-effacing, and honest. As one reader commented, “Fennel is the only author who can make me laugh out loud and cry in the same sentence. His Journal had me constantly in tears, for all the right reasons”.

“The Lighter Side was more than I expected. I’d thought it would just be a collection of funny stories, but the deeper meaning within it – and the devastating honesty it conveys – made me question exactly where I am in my own life and what I can do to improve it for me and my family in the time that remains. Thank you Fennel for opening my eyes and adjusting my course.”
