Fancying himself in the role of country squire he drags long suffering wife Marlene and teenage son Tyler to the wilds of Shropshire and their new home Winterdown Farm.;But any notion of their new life being all country fairs and fox hunts quickly evaporates when they realise that they have also taken on the local yokels that are the farm’s staff: Elgin “farm manager” Sparrowhawk unlucky- in-love herdsman Bryan simple minded crops man Jed and housekeeper and village gossip Mrs Cakeworthy. On top of this things get off to a less than perfect start with their new neighbour patriotic Welshman Llewellyn. Will Boycie ever fit in with the landed gentry? Will Marlene ever get used to the ‘unnaturally’ quiet country nights? Will the Driscoll Brothers ever catch up with them? And will Mrs Cakeworthy ever actually do any housework?
