Publisher's Synopsis
Many people have dreamed, over the years, of running a tea shop or a country pub. They have also dreamed of owning and 'doing up' a country cottage, preferably one with low lintels, hollyhocks up the walls, and those Beatrix Potter diamond-leaded windows like Mrs. Tiggywinkle`s.
Berwick Coates was lucky; he made it beyond the dreaming. But it took him by surprise. And the odds were against him:
He didn`t have any money; he couldn`t drive; and he knew next to nothing about DIY. All he could claim was the wit to spot an opportunity when it came along. This book is about what he did with this opportunity.
