To make her dream come true Lorraine Turnbull dragged her new husband and reluctant children away from Glasgow to live the ‘Good Life’ on a smallholding in Cornwall. Sheep wrestling, making cider, dealing with maggots and a demented mother and all under the pressure of the dreaded Agricultural Occupancy Condition.

Lorraine shares the story of the delights and disasters of living off the land in Cornwall and of how she finally triumphed over adversity.

This memoir of life on a smallholding in Cornwall will appeal to many readers. Those who love Cornwall, who love tales of rural life, those looking for true stories with an uplifting ending. There is humour, pathos and a real honesty about family life on the farm.
