Chris Stewart

Chris Stewart, one-time Genesis drummer turned sheepshearer, and his family live at El Valero, their farm in rural Andalucia. Fifteen years ago, he could never have imagined the locals would invite him to join an Almond Blossom Appreciation Society, or that his daughter Chloe would be teaching him about teenage Spanish social life.

Having retired as a rock drummer at the age of seventeen the author turned his attention to sheep farming. Some years ago he and his wife decided to buy a peasant farm in Spain. In this funny book we experience the ups and downs of life on 'El Valero'.

It's two decades since Chris Stewart moved to his farm in the mountains of southern Spain and now a local literary celebrity, he is using his fame to help his old sheep-shearing partner find work on a raucous road trip, recalling his own first foray into the adult world of work.

Sequel to 'Driving Over Lemons' (5601). The author continues his observations about his family, his home, his neighbours, Spanish school life and a parrot who joins the household.

The highly amusing account of Chris Stewart’s experiences of sailing a Cornish Crabber around the Greek Islands and then on a trip across the North Atlantic. His complete lack of sailing experience led to some hilarious adventures. X rated, contains offensive language.
