description: It's two decades since Chris Stewart moved to his farm on the wrong side of a river in the mountains of southern Spain and his daughter Chle is preparing to fly the nest for university. In this latest typically hilarious dispatch from El Valero we find Chris now a local literary celebrity using his fame to help his old sheep-shearing partner find work on a raucous road trip; cooking a TV lunch for visiting British chef Rick Stein; discovering the pitfalls of Spanish public speaking; and most movingly visiting famine-stricken Niger for Oxfam. Yet it's at El Valero his beloved sheep farm that Chris remains in his element as he his wife Ana and their assorted dogs cats and sheep weather a near calamitous flood and emerge as newly certified organic farmers. His cash crop? The lemons and oranges he once so blithely drove over of course.
