Ebook About What people are saying about Plum, Courgette & Green Bean Tart“Pure energy on paper”“Strongly recommended book for those who enjoy restarting abroad memoirs and enjoy a twist on the genre.”“Wish you every success with your book” Bill Bryson“I found this gem of a book on Amazon and it is a brilliant read.”Have you ever wanted to leave the rat race, move abroad and live the good life somewhere green and bountiful? Lisa and her partner, the enigmatic S, did just that. In 2007 they left their jobs, as newt catchers, and their native English shores for beautiful green Galicia, in the remote northwest of Spain – a place of mystery and mists, Celtic legends and bagpipes, and a language of its very own. There, they set to work to self-renovate a derelict farmhouse, whilst trying to become self-sufficient and learn more about this untamed part of the Iberian peninsula.When S suggested a three week holiday, walking one of the old pilgrim routes to Santiago de Compostela, little did they know it would change their lives totally. From the outset with too much weight and too little training they realised their Camino goal was not going to be met. With failure looming, they chose to abandon their pilgrimage to view abandoned houses instead. “We first saw A Casa do Campo on a rainswept November morning. Mists were rising and water dripped onto the rusted kitchen range from gaping holes in the roof. There were bird’s nests in the bedrooms and bats in the hallway. Bare, dead looking trees surrounded the property which the Spanish estate agent enthusiastically promised us would be laden with fruit come August. It was love at first sight.”If only buying it were so easy!Deaths, taxes and even Spanish bureaucracy fail to dent their enthusiasm and eventually Lisa and S head off for their new Good Life abroad with an overloaded Ford Escort, tool bags, vegetable seeds and a trusty stereo stacking system. Oh, and two deckchairs in which to relax in the evenings.Plum, Courgette & Green Bean Tart tells the story of that first 12 months living la vida dulce, The Good Life, in this beautiful green part of mainland Spain, Galicia, or Galiza in its own language.This fly on the wall account uses genuine letters home and diary entries to tell a true story: a story of battles with Spanish bureaucracy and mañana timekeeping; of struggles to self-renovate a derelict home before the bats and the weather reclaim it; of learning to protect chickens against aerial assassins and precious food for the table from underground vegetable thieves; of gardening in bizarre weather conditions; of discovering how to cook delicious and sometimes interesting meals on a finally mouse-free wood burning stove; and of falling in love. Plum, Courgette & Green Bean Tart, Book One of the ‘writing home’ series, has an immediacy which has you falling under its spell. Twelve chapters tell a story of twelve months, of four seasons, of a whole year to write home about. Also included are genuine Galician recipes plus a plum, courgette & green bean tart to make, and a free photo album to follow as the story unfolds. The interwoven information and anecdotes about Galicia are told by someone who has truly fallen in love with this little known and timeless green region with its gentle people and erratic weather, ensuring this will truly be a book to write home about.Book Plum, Courgette & Green Bean Tart: A year to write home about - Seeking la vida dulce in Galicia (Writing Home Book 1) Review :
Lisa and her partner ‘S’ move to Galicia in Spain to fulfill their desire to live off the land and experience a new culture. Their house is a deserted wreck with no windows, bats in residence, and no bath. They improvise a shower using a hose, but a great day is one where someone from England is visiting and staying in a hotel—they are thus able to “steal” a shower! They order windows only to see them not appear or come bigger than the opening that they had measured and measured again. There a toilets in the living room and living rooms in the loo. Watching the amount of sheer hard work they complete while preparing their wreck to become a lovely, livable space is almost exhausting.Lisa, who grew up helping her father grow vegetables in the garden of their mining village home, experiments with what is going to work in the vastly different climate of the Galician abode. She finds that tomatoes, courgettes (zucchini), and green beans grow in massive abundance. They are able to harvest fruit from ancient fruit trees growing on the property and therefore the name of the book (I won’t be a spoiler and say anymore).Generous neighbors and friendly villagers make them welcome in the village. They are constantly behind on the buying of rounds in the local watering holes and if they bring something from their garden to neighbors to share, they are given four times as much in return.I enjoyed the unusual format of the writing—letters home to Mum, diary entries, and straight out prose—it all leant itself to the telling of the story. I especially enjoyed flashbacks to the life story of Lisa and what lead up to her interest in renovating a home in Spain. This is a strongly recommended book for those who enjoy restarting abroad memoirs and enjoy a twist on the genre. Every memoir is a bit different and finding that niche can be daunting.I think Plum, Courgette definitely found its groove thing. Most couples that move to Spain, take advantage of the relatively cheap labor and then describe how and who didn't show up on time but eventually got the work done...that's Spain it seems.Well, this couple does most the work themselves or brings friends to help them get the difficult major jobs accomplished. And, they live in the work site with little or no creature comforts. What dedication! Are they nuts? Who would hose themselves off because they don't have hot water or sewer and not for a short time either. They're trying to install systems in bedrock without major modern machinery. I don't think the Spanish would sacrifice that much.But the couple doesn't seem to complain much which is refreshing (except on window order for good reason).On top of this they seem to host lots of folks though they direct them to the local hotels so they can more comfortable and have running hot water.This memoir is worthy of a follow up.
