  Innocence, experience and comedy in Cumbria, from 'a British writer to be treasured and revered' Independent on Sunday As the wet lakeland fells grow misty and the holiday season draws to a close! As the tourists trickle away from the campsite, along with the sunshine, and the hot water, and the last of the good beer! A man accidentally spills a tin of green paint, and thereby condemns himself to death.

  It is the end of the summer. The tourists have already gone, and now the sun is abandoning the Lake District's damp valleys. Only a lone camper remains, enjoying the quiet. He plans to stay just long enough to prepare for a trip to the East. But then the owner of the campsite asks him to paint a fence and he innocently obliges. Soon other odd jobs pile up until little by little he becomes ensnared in the ominous `out-of-season'.
