The Last Days of the Bus Club

Product Description It's two decades since Chris Stewart moved to his farm on the wrong side of a river in the mountains of southern Spain and his daughter Chlöe is preparing to fly the nest for university. In this latest, typically hilarious dispatch from El Valero we find Chris, now a local literary celebrity, using his fame to help his old sheep-shearing partner find work on a raucous road trip; cooking a TV lunch for visiting British chef, Rick Stein; discovering the pitfalls of Spanish public speaking; and recalling his own first foray into the adult world of work. Yet it's at El Valero, his beloved sheep farm, that Chris remains in his element as he, his wife Ana and their assorted dogs, cats and sheep weather a near calamitous flood and emerge as newly certified organic farmers. His cash crop? The lemons and oranges he once so blithely drove over, of course. Review When an author is as modest and humorous as this, his story cannot be told too often ( The Times) 'An affectionate account of living well in the shade and scent of Stewart's beloved organic citrus trees. Happy days' --Iain Finlayson Book Description Part Four of the million-selling Driving Over Lemons trilogy About the Author Chris Stewart is the author of Driving Over Lemons, A Parrot in the Pepper Tree, The Almond Blossom Appreciation Society and Three Ways to Capsize a Boat, which have sold more than a million copies, and have been bestsellers in both Britain and Spain.
