Book still in a great condition - 170 pg. >>> Tim Haynes pursued his dream of freedom and peace and quiet literally to the edge of the earth. The beauty and simplicity of Ireland beckoned, but this adventurous South African family got more than they bargained for when they took on transforming an Irish ruin into a livable home. In this hilarious account of their encounters with Irish humour, pigheadedness, unspeakable weather and drunken wakes, we discover that some dreams can turn into nightmares. This rollicking tale will bring the house down if the Irish dont. >>> This is an account of a South African family's four years living in rural Ireland and the hardships they faced rebuilding their dream stone cottage from scratch while trying to deal with meddling locals and their very strange antics. From drunken wakes, mistaken corpses and salmon poaching at midnight by the light of a torch while hiding from the police, to strong-man competitions involving straddling a mountain goat, it is a rare, honest and funny story.
