This very honest, frank and personal account of moving from city to country life, from a dynamic career producing documentaries to the hard labour of agriculture, has the potential to inspire some and encourage others who are contemplating a similar change to look very carefully before they leap. For Joy Barrow and her husband David, the genesis of their dream for the idyll which country life represents occurred in Europe having its locale in Tuscany or Provence. The colour for their perfect picture came from images of centuries old stone farmhouses perched on vantage points providing glorious views of the villages on surrounding hilltops and a patchwork of vines and olive trees spilling down the valley -- very romantic, very lovely, gorgeous to visit, imagining oneself the proprietor. During periods of living and working in Europe they whiled away many a pleasant hour plotting and planning the glamour of living life the way French and Italian peasants do.
