Items related to Seagulls In The Attic
Tessa Hainsworth used to have it all - except time, peace of mind and leisure to enjoy the fruits of her labours in her executive job with The Body Shop. One momentous spring, she and her husband decided to start again - and UP WITH THE LARKS describes Tessa's first turbulent year, adapting to her new life in the remote South West. Now, in SEAGULLS IN THE ATTIC, Tessa reveals that despite being a fully-fledged member of the community, life is no easier. Being part of small-village life isn't always straightforward. Yet the reality of financial downsizing and learning a whole new way of living hasn't lessened Tessa's natural exuberance and sense of fun - instead they help her to turn all the hardships to her advantage...eventually.

Review:
"The narrative is full of stories of Hainsworth tending her allotment, charming the locals and enjoying scones with neighbours as she discusses the merits of goat keeping. You have to admire her determination to integrate herself in rural life" (Sunday Telegraph)
"There's something delightfully moreish about Tessa Hainsworth's pitter-patter account of her days... The pace is as slow as the tide, piqued with the odd gentle caper ... Still, there's something nurturing about letting each description roll over you like great, frothy Cornish waves" (Daily Mail)
"A warm-hearted escapist read which will be particularly enjoyed by anyone who has, like Tessa, dreamed of over-throwing their nine to five to set up home in a favourite holiday spot" (Western Morning News)
