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 groeide op op een landgoed in Wales, waar haar jeugd zich buiten afspeelde, te paard, met het helpen van jachtopzieners en zeilend. Een ernstig auto-ongeluk in 1991 zette haar ertoe aan haar eigen adviesbureau op te richten. Tijdens haar (semi-)pensionering werd een verhuizing naar Frankrijk met haar man een transformerende ervaring. Ze ruilden technologie in voor een onderdompeling in de Franse cultuur en taal, en wijdden zich aan het redden van dieren, schrijven en het volledig omarmen van het landelijke Franse leven.






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.
