Beth and Jack have finally bought their dream country estate, but their modest renovation process soon turns into a project of nightmarish proportions.
Beth Haslam a grandi dans un domaine rural au Pays de Galles, où son enfance a été marquée par la vie en plein air, passée à monter à cheval, à aider les garde-chasse et à naviguer. Un grave accident de voiture en 1991 l'a amenée à créer sa propre entreprise de conseil. À l'approche de la semi-retraite, un déménagement en France avec son mari est devenu une expérience transformatrice. Elle a troqué la technologie pour une immersion dans la culture et la langue françaises, se consacrant au sauvetage d'animaux, à l'écriture et à l'adoption de la vie rurale française.






Beth and Jack have finally bought their dream country estate, but their modest renovation process soon turns into a project of nightmarish proportions.
Buying a country estate in France seemed such a simple thing to accomplish. When Beth, her irascible husband Jack, and their two fat dogs set off, little do they know that it will become such an extraordinary adventure. Surviving near-death experiences, they drive thousands of kilometres around French estates steeped in history and crazy aristocrats. Will they find their dream home, or return to Britain defeated? This is the hilarious first instalment in the Fat Dogs series.
With six failures so far but more properties to see, Beth and Jack and their fat dogs continue to hunt for a country domaine in France. As tensions rise, they battle on exhausted but determined to realise their dream. Will it end in tears?
Petulant ponies, neurotic sheepdogs and rabbits with razor-sharp teeth shape Beth's life as she grows up on a Welsh farm estate. This is no ordinary upbringing.
Life is never dull for Beth and her grumpy husband, Jack. Join the pair as they hunt down rampant mushroomers, raise countless critters and build witches with knobbly knees in their eccentric corner of rural France.
When Beth, her beloved dog, Sam, and grumpy husband, Jack, return to France, disaster strikes. As they battle to restore order to their home, French authorities visit with shocking news. Obliged to sit examinations in French, coping with furred and feathered babies, and wrangling French tradesmen, there's no let-up in this action-packed episode of the Haslams' adventures.
