"Inspired by breathtaking views and romantically dreaming of finding love in the mountains, Tony Hawks impulsively buys an idyllic house in the French Pyrenees. And here, he imagines, he will finally fulfil his childhood fantasy of mastering the piano, all the while overlooking spectacular views as the troubles of the world pass by unnoticed. 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."

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 flirts with the removal business in a disastrous attempt to take his piano over to France in a dodgy white van; 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 his old mate Ron the builder from West London. Yet, as Tony and his small group of friends haplessly attempt to integrate themselves into local village life, they learn more about themselves and each other than they ever bargained for. And for at least one of them, love is found at last, in the most unexpected of places."@en

"The house wasn't quite the stuff of my dreams. It wasn't an old tumbledown farmhouse ready for loving restoration, but a twenty-year-old property which looked ready for immediate habitation. Three things made it special - location, location, location. 'That is the Pic du Midi,' said Monsieur L'Agent, pointing to a mountain in the distance, and possibly sensing from my open mouth that a quick sale was far from out of the question. 'You can ski in this place.' 'Yes. It's quite a nice view,' I said, trying not to look too enthusiastic. Inside it had all the features that you look for in a house - windows, doors, ceilings, floors, bedrooms, a bathroom, radiators, all in excellent condition. The kitchen was a little small but that was more than compensated for by the view. The fabulous view. Did I mention that at all."
"From the author of Round Ireland with a Fridge Inspired by breathtaking views, and dreaming of finding love and romance 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 account of 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. The man who once travelled around Ireland with a fridge is hopelessly ill prepared for this latest adventure - though the consequences are hilarious."
