2000s: Never believe that life in a tiny Spanish mountain village is predictable
Never believe that life in a tiny Spanish mountain village is predictable. Vicky and Joe have finished fixing up their house and look forward to peaceful days enjoying their retirement. Then the fish van arrives, and instead of delivering fresh fish, disgorges the Ufarte family. The peace of El Hoyo is shattered.
In this, the second of the Old Fools series, Vicky and Joe are catapulted (and ‘cat’ is the operative word) into more bizarre situations and scrapes. Surrounded by the same cast of eccentric characters introduced in ‘Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools’, the two old fools muddle through until they are forced into making a life-changing decision.
Vicky and Joe’s life in El Hoyo and the events and comings and goings in the village are just as interesting as they were in book one! (Good to read to get a real sense of the village and their arrival)
The village has another newcomer – well a whole family of them and they’re called the Ufarte’s which causes much hilarity. Wait until you hear about Joe and Lola Ufarte’s thongs which are stolen by the cat. That’s not the only cat with bad behaviour – there are a few lusty felines in this story!
Each chapter has a heading and is accompanied with a recipe as well as there being photos dotted in the book.
