What to expect
Todd and Jeff have had enough of the city. Sick of the daily grind and workaday corporate shenanigans, they throw caution to the wind and buy 100 acres in the Hunter Valley, intent on living a golden bucolic life and building a fabulous B&B, where they can offer the joys of country life to heart-weary souls. Todd will cook, Jeff will renovate. They can make wine and grow their own food and live the dream. How hard can it be?
“This joyously honest account will make you laugh till it hurts and shed more than a few tears while being captivated by Todd, Jeff and their menagerie of loveable animals.” BRADLEY TREVOR GREIVE AM, author of Penguin Bloom
