When Cyclone Daria hit our Devon small holding in the winter of 1989/90 my husband, John, and I lost everything. This total disaster actually kick started an amazing journey which took us from wet, muddy England to the land of my husband's birth - Zimbabwe. It was an adventure that I had never thought possible. This book follows our unexpected journey, the people of the land, their culture and the humour and laughter that is rarely far away, living in the wide brown lands of rural Africa.
