About this listen
Nick and Lesley Albert yearn to leave the noise, stress, and pollution of modern Britain and move to the countryside, where the living is good, the air sweet, with space for their dogs to run free. Suddenly out of work and soon to be homeless, they set off in search of a new life in Ireland, a country they had never visited. As their adventure began to unfold, not everything went according to plan. If finding their dream house was difficult, buying it seemed almost impossible. How would they cope with banks that didn’t want customers, builders who didn’t need work, or the complex issue of where to buy some chickens?

Lovely memoir brilliantly narrated
I’ve read all books in this series so far. Nick Albert tells us about his life moving to & living in rural Ireland - this audiobook version did not disappoint - highly recommended.

MISLEADING TITLE
I was reluctant to down load this book, but with the knowledge That I can return it and I am glad I did. It turned out to very interesting, with humour and drama. I made a special effort to read/ listen since I had already listened to book 3 . I wanted to know why Nick made the dramatic change?

Wonderful Story and Great Narration
This is such a well-written story and totally engaging. It has the “feel-good” factor, which I found refreshing. I was apprehensive at first as this was my first Audiobook, but I enjoyed being read to as I could multi-task! I listened at every opportunity as I was eager to know what happened next.
Through the excellent narration (very entertaining - so many different voices) I really feel that I know Nick and Lesley and have a clear picture in my mind of their daughter, dogs, chickens, house and surroundings; as well as the countryside. I’ve never been to Ireland, but I want to go and see for myself - it sounds idyllic.
Now I’ve finished; what happens in the next book? I hope volume 2 will be released soon - I can’t wait.

Fun and frolics in County Clare

Lovely, relaxing listen!
My usual genre is crime fiction. Sometimes I need a palette cleanser. This is perfect for that time when we just need a nice, well written book with nothing unpleasant in the story. It is often funny, sometimes moving and generally one of those comfort reads/listens. The narrator has the perfect voice and upbeat style for the story. He couldn’t produce a decent Irish accent to save his life, but somehow, this doesn’t detract too much.
I was given a copy of this audiobook by the author, via Bookboom, in exchange for an honest review. A second Fresh Eggs and Dog Beds is in the pipe line. I am looking forward to it.

lovely book
Loved this book even though not my normal style.
Once I'd started it I couldn't stop. I enjoyed it immensely.
considering book 2 already but I only have one credit so I'm holding off for a little while.
