A vivid and charming portrait of life in the Yorkshire Dales.
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Max Hardcastle was born in the old West Riding of Yorkshire, just before the outbreak of the Second World War. He started collecting antiques at an early age, hoarding his treasures - including a five-foot stuffed crocodile - in a disused hen house, known ever after as the 'junk hut'. After National Service and a brief period working for an engineering company, Max and his family heard the call of the Yorkshire Dales, where they bought a cottage, hung out their sign - Bullpen Antiques - and made a happy living for many years. Max and his family now live in Leyburn, North Yorkshire, with two dogs, two ponies and an ever-fluctuating population of hens, ducks and pigeons. His only regret is that he no longer has contents of his treasured 'junk hut'.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Max and Vicky Hardcastle have a daydream . . .One day, they'll sell their cramped city-centre antiques shop and the overflowing upstairs flat and relocate to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. If they could only find the perfect place to house both family and business, then that fantasy might become a reality. . . When a smallholding in a remote Dales village comes on the market, it seems like the answer to their prayers. Bullpen Farm might need 'some renovation', but it has an orchard, outbuildings and all the charm they've dreamt of. Before long, the Hardcastles find themselves the proud owners of a collection of ramshackle buildings and the newest members of a close-knit community which seems to have more than its fair share of eccentrics.From the antics of the antiques trade to the uproarious incidents of village life, it turns out that rural living isn't quite as tranquil as they'd imagined!'A happy, satisfying and very funny book' James Herriot. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR002725206

Etat : Very Good. : Max y Vicky Hardcastle sueñan con vender su abarrotada tienda de antigüedades en el centro de la ciudad y su piso superior desbordado para trasladarse a los hermosos Yorkshire Dales. Si tan solo pudieran encontrar el lugar perfecto para albergar tanto a la familia como al negocio, esa fantasía podría convertirse en realidad. Cuando una pequeña propiedad en un remoto pueblo de Dales sale al mercado, parece la respuesta a sus oraciones. Bullpen Farm podría necesitar 'alguna renovación', pero tiene un huerto, dependencias y todo el encanto con el que han soñado. En poco tiempo, los Hardcastle se convierten en los orgullosos propietarios de una colección de edificios destartalados y en los miembros más nuevos de una comunidad unida que parece tener más de lo que le corresponde de excéntricos. Desde las travesuras del comercio de antigüedades hasta los escandalosos incidentes de la vida en el pueblo, resulta que la vida rural no es tan tranquila como habían imaginado.
