The Desperate Diary of a Country Housewife

The Desperate Diary of a Country Housewife
Daisy Waugh

If you've ever dreamt of a new life in the country, this highly entertaining and candid account of country living might make you think again…Fresh air, rolling fields, Cath Kidston tea towels and home-baked cake – isn't that what Martha's new life will be?Apparently not. Having upped sticks and moved her young family from the gritty city to Paradise, she discovers things aren't quite that easy. Collapsing kitchen ceilings; a plague of slugs; coffee mornings with Stepford mums and garden warfare with the neighbours are just a few of the trials. And with her husband away working in London, Martha just can't stop thinking about the sexy builder who's meant to be turning the house into her dream home…
