I have just spent the afternoon finishing off Chris Stewart's 'A Parrot in the Pepper Tree,' which is the sequel to his hugely successful 'Driving Over Lemons.' Both books talk about Stewart's life in Las Alpujarras, south of Granada in Spain. It is here that he runs a sheep farm with his wife, Ana, and daughter, Chloe.
Both books are beautifully written and very funny. He talks about the locals, the landscapes and how he deals with this new life after leaving England behind. As someone very interested in travel writing, I admire his style very much.
Very inspiring. Give both of these a read.
