Reading this book reminded me of Emily Dickinson's poem, "There is no frigate like a book," because after the first few pages you realize you are on a journey bound for the rocky coast of Cornwall. Derek and Jean Tangye left the noise and stress of London to turn an abandoned farmhouse in Cornwall into a thriving flower farm (so that's where all those lovely flowers at the florist come from, right?). They also tried their hand at potato farming, which deserves a book in itself. This book is well-written, entertaining and a great de-stressifier. Who needs Valium to deal with life when 'A Gull on the Roof' will do the same thing for a fraction of the price? Their cat, Monty steals the show from the first (with Monty's Leap) to the last. I hope to read the rest of the Minack Chronicles.
