Description
The drive would take fifteen hours, a slow meander up virtually the entire length of Britain. Not having the first idea what was required for my six-month sojourn as a crofter on the west coast of Scotland, I had opted to take along pretty much everything I owned...A diary of adventure in picturesque Sand Bay, Monty Halls' Great Escape takes readers on an extraordinary journey, from auspicious beginnings as Monty renovates his cottage and meets a rich cast of local characters, through dark days when he yearns for the trappings of urban existence. Armed with little more than optimism and a basic knowledge of DIY - and with his gigantic (possibly insane) dog, Reuben, as his companion - Monty raises sheep, pigs and chickens, grows his own vegetables, and learns all about simple living on the wild west coast. Published to coincide with a major BBC series, Monty Halls' Great Escape is a book for anyone who has dreamed of living a more meaningful life
