Title: Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools Pdf
**New York Times bestselling author**
If Joe and Vicky had known what relocating to a tiny mountain village in Andalucía would REALLY be like, they might have hesitated...
They have no idea of the culture shock in store. No idea they'll become reluctant chicken farmers and own the most dangerous cockerel in Spain. No idea they'll help capture a vulture or be rescued by a mule.
Will they stay, or return to the relative sanity of England?
Includes Spanish recipes donated by the village ladies and link to FREE photo book.
The Telegraph-- "a colourful glimpse of Andalucían life. And a psychopathic chicken or two...charming...funny"
Funny, Heartwarming and Charming As soon as I began reading I was drawn in to the story of Victoria and her husband, Joe, who make a plan to move to Spain for 5 years from the UK. The writing is clean, clear and engaging with funny metaphors and similes that had been laughing out loud at times, feeling warm and fuzzy at other times, and not wanting to put the book down at others. We follow their journey through moving and setting up house in Spain and refurbishing and rebuilding, friends visiting, and then building new houses on their orchard, all with local stories and charm which made me want to go to El Hoya, the little village in Spain where they landed. Bravo on a story well told in a funny and heartwarming way.Full of surprises and quirky mishaps If you're looking to experience sunny Spain, and maybe even life in a tiny village tucked in the Alpujarra Mountains, and without leaving home, then CHICKENS, MULES AND TWO OLD FOOLS is the book for you.Approaching retirement, Vicky and her husband, Joe, one day decide to pack up their bags and leave their comfortable Sussex, England home and settle in the village El Hoya, Spain. It is not long before they come to learn village life is full of surprises and quirky mishaps, and with hilarious culture clashes at every turn. When Vicky and Joe unintentionally find themselves chicken farmers, Vicky says:"Oh, Please! Our Spanish neighbours already thought we were insane, sitting on the yellow sofa gazing at our flock, letting them hop onto our laps, talking to them."Whether saved by a mule or sitting at a party table in the middle of the road celebrating a neighbour's birthday (and blocking traffic), CHICKENS ... not only paints a warm, humorous and colourful picture of rural Spain, but also tells of how two zany Brits came to fit right in. Light-hearted and full of sunshine. A thoroughly enjoyable read.Vicariously enjoy a move to a remote Spanish village I'm happy where I live, in Israel, where I moved from the United States. And I wouldn't have the gumption to buy a decrepit old house in a remote Spanish mountain village, fix it up myself, and live there. But I can and did vicariously enjoy the adventures of the author and her husband who did just that. She writes warmly, engagingly, and amusingly, and I sometimes found myself laughing out loud.
