Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools

Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools by Victoria Twead
Perhaps if Joe and Vicky had known what relocating to a tiny village tucked in the Alpujarra mountains, would really be like, they might have hesitated...

My Review

Pull up a comfy chair or snuggle down in bed with this book and you’ll be rooted for hours. From page one it puts a smile on your face. Victoria Twead weaves a great yarn, her writing warm and friendly and her story-telling ability just great.

I found it hard to turn out the light and I live in a remote village in Andalucia. Her book just rolls along with their adventure, persuaded hubby and herself, from deciding to give a new life a five year trial to the decision at the end of that time.

Stubborn mules, wacky neighbours, crazy chickens and local recipes all help the “two old fools” through the tough parts and hard work of renovating a home while living in it.

There’s not many a moan or groan in these pages just sheer glee at every turn, her enjoyment oozes out of the pages and invites you to experience every moment from chicken watching to culture shocking moments, stencilling the chicken pen to the house-swap finale it’s fabulous fun.
