Happy families. They'd put you off people for life. Probably why I prefer animals. Take Nanny, for instance. She's her own person. She has her likes and dislikes, her set routines, her favourite bushes, even her own spot against the garden wall where she likes to sit and sunbathe. I often visit her there and stroke her. She opens a tiny slit of her eye and bends her head back against the wall. I feel she is telling me how much she likes me doing that, that life chez Pippy is the best there is . . . Philippa Woodcock lives a solitary life isolated from the world on her little farm within sight of the Slieve Bloom Mountains. Having abandoned the trappings of city life, she finds contentment in harvesting the fruits of the hedgerows, taking care of her animals and running her own business, Philippa's Pantry. But her isolation is interrupted by the carry- on of the local beau monde and the sudden unwelcome arrival of her wayward brother and sister. In the midst of chaos, while her defences are down, she is captivated by a tall figure in a tweed jacket and attempts to seduce him. The opportunity arises in her little wood when the bluebells are bursting forth and the damp earth offers no impediment to passion . . . but something else does, something Philippa could never have dreamt of.
