This collection of humorous columns for a rural parish magazine reflects life all year round in a small English village in the beautiful Cotswolds countryside where the author has lived since 1991. 

Easy to dip into, this light-hearted volume provides entertaining reading for anyone interested in community life in rural Gloucestershire and the real-life equivalent of the fictional village of Wendlebury Barrow, the parish that is the setting for Debbie Young's fiction books. 

It is the sequel to All Part of the Charm, a collection of nostalgic essays and parish magazine columns.

Debbie Young also writes warm, witty novels set in the Cotswolds: the Sophie Sayers Village Mysteries, starting with Best Murder in Show, and the Staffroom at St Bride's series, starting with Secrets at St Bride's, set in a quirky English girls' boarding school in the same parish. Her quick read Tales from Wendlebury Barrow series, including The Clutch of Eggs and The Natter of Knitters, also provides an entertaining window into the joys of English village life.
