Life in the remote valley is difficult for the family This is not a tale of violence but their are dangers, risks, odd moments of triumph and a little romance Will they be able to build themselves a house, for the caravan by the small stream is cramped for five people, the youngest only four-years old You will laugh at the mouse, but no bigger pet could live in that small space There is much else to cause a smile as the holiday visitors arrive and the goats and ducks - never a dull moment, and yet in many ways this is a gentle tale
