“Gardening With Tortoises” £9.99

In an amusing collection of letters to her sister, Pippa, a keen naturalist, with a menagerie of parrots, goats, tortoises and a naturist husband in tow, recounts their encounters with friendly nuns and nosy neighbours whilst moving house between Devon, France and Spain. A well-written, thoughtful and funny book, it also comes highly recommended by David Bellamy!
