Publisher's Synopsis
Years ago, after a drunken misunderstanding, Simon Dawson gave up his job in the city, moved to the wilds of Exmoor and became an accidental self-sufficient smallholder surrounded by animals. But now his life is changing all over again: horror of horrors, he's getting older. Enlisting a cast of best friends - including Ziggy, a panicked soon-to-be father; Garth, an annoying teenager; and the General, a rather handsome pig - to work through their age-related angsts, a plan is hatched to help each other mature (or immature). Hilarity and heartfelt discoveries ensue - all with a fair dose of pigs, chickens, goats and animal madness along the way.
