Google "The Darling Buds of May".

No, I have not read those books but they sound like just my cup of tea. I wish they were available on audiobook.

They are available on audiobook, all 5.
What's more, the books were made into 3 TV series shown between 1991-93 and this is available on DVD. All the outside scenes were filmed around the mid Kent village of Pluckley, which still looks pretty much the same today.
It's a truly delightful series starring David Jason, Pam Ferris, and as their daughter Mariette an unknown getting her big break called Catherine Zeta-Jones.
If you would like me to get you any of these just ask. I think as staff you can see my email if you need it. Don't know if I'm allowed to post it here.

Thanks, maybe we can work something out.

Doug Spaulding and Braling II met face-to-face today in Felton, CA! Short but sweet. I hope to meet more of you all someday soon.

That would be great.

Maybe at the Waukegan Library some late summer afternoon, followed by a brisk walk through the Ravine!
