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 wuchs auf einem Landsitz in Wales auf, wo ihre Kindheit von der Natur geprägt war, die sie beim Reiten, der Unterstützung von Wildhütern und beim Segeln erlebte. Ein schwerer Autounfall im Jahr 1991 veranlasste sie, ein eigenes Beratungsunternehmen zu gründen. Während des Vorruhestands wurde ein Umzug nach Frankreich mit ihrem Mann zu einer transformativen Erfahrung. Sie tauschte Technologie gegen ein Eintauchen in die französische Kultur und Sprache und widmete sich der Rettung von Tieren, dem Schreiben und dem vollen Genuss des ländlichen französischen Lebens.






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.
