  A return to the rural idyll is a fantasy that many of us have. Denise took that dream and is making it into reality - against all the odds and in spite of endless seemingly insurmountable problems. Denise recounts, with a sense of awe and suprise, the step-by-step recovering of life at Lickeen. She tells, among many other stories, how she personally removed tons of rendering from her home, armed only with a small pick-axe; how her obsessional longing for a bath led to the most embarrassing of predicaments; and how electricity was installed with the aid of a cow, and how every animal she bought turned out to be pregnant.
