Synopsis
Deep in the Limousin countryside, Richard Wiles bought his dream home. But little did he expect to be living full time in the dilapidated farmhouse while struggling to finish the conversion during the insect plagues of summer and the harsh blizzards of winter. Watched by his bemused neighbors, Richard also pursues his more unusual dreams of raising llamas, hot-air ballooning, and marathon running whilst trying to keep the roof over his head. Told with unfailing humor and optimism, this is a unique tale of overcoming the formidable challenges of building a home, and a life, in France.
