A Castle in Spain: A Mountain Ruin and an Impossible Dream
ISBN: 0141806109
Category: Bios, Memoirs, Travel, Adventure
Keywords: rennovation, Pyrenees, Castle, Spain, Mountain, Ruin, Impossible, Dream
Author: Matthew Parris
Publisher: Penguin Books Limited
Length: 3 hours and 29 min.

Description
Walking in the Pyrenees, 20 years ago, Matthew Parris and his sister came upon a magnificent medieval house. It had crests and a date, 1559, chiselled into the stone: its walls and foundations were intact but the ancient oak ridge timber supporting the roof had split and was ready to collapse into the rotten floors beneath. Renovation would be an epic undertaking, a massive investment of time, money, and emotion. And, the locals warned, nobody ever left L'Avenc with any money. A few years ago, Matthew (with his family's help) went back and bought the place. Astonishing and arguably idiotic, his decision resulted in a phenomenal amount of hard work, and this hugely enjoyable book. Inspirational, instructional, and utterly irresistible, this is the story of one man's dream to turn a forgotten ruin into his very own Castle in Spain.

A Piano in the Pyrenees
ISBN: 1846570131
Category: Travel, Adventure
Keywords: france, piano, french, swimming pool, mountains, Piano, Pyrenees
Author: Tony Hawks
Publisher: Random House AudioBooks
Length: 3 hours and 16 min.

Description
Inspired by breathtaking views and romantically dreaming of finding love in the mountains, Tony Hawks impulsively buys a house in the French Pyrenees. Here, he imagines, he will finally fulfil his childhood fantasy of mastering the piano, untroubled by the problems of the world. However, Tony's hopelessly ill-prepared stumbling into the world of overseas home ownership is perhaps best read as a useful manual of how not to go about buying a house abroad. He foolishly elects to build a swimming pool himself and takes his experience of relationships to a new level when he finds himself co-habiting, not with a beautiful French woman, but with a middle-aged builder from West London. Yet, as Tony and his friends haplessly attempt to integrate themselves into local village life, they learn more about themselves and each other than they ever thought possible.
