A Parrot in the Pepper Tree

£6.99

This 'Sort Of' sequel to Driving over Lemons, combines a reflective look at Chris Stewarts past life - traveling with a circus in the north of England and sheep-shearing in midwinter Sweden with a sequel to Lemon's, following the lives of Chris, Ana and their daughter Chloe on their remote mountain farm.

Guiding us through their lives, organic farming and the trials and tribulations of day to day life in the remote mountains of the Western Alpujarrias, Chris shares with us stories of domestic relations in rural Spain, Christmas underwater, environmental swimming pools complete with a carpet of frogs and the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding valleys, peaks and meadows (and how, in addition to the threat of a dam flooding the valley, one of the biggest threats to the views are the hungry stomachs of the mountain sheep).
