The Smell of Summer Grass is the story of the years spent in finding & building a personal idyll, sometimes a dream, sometimes a nightmare, by writer Adam Nicolson & his wife, cook & gardener, Sarah Raven. Without knowing one end of a hay baler from the other, Adam Nicolson & Sarah Raven, fed up with London & with life, escaped with his family to a run-down farm in the Sussex Weald. Looking for Arcadia, they found a mixture of intense beauty & profound chaos. Over three years they struggled with dock leaves, spring flowers, bloody-minded sheep & neighbours before eventually arriving at some kind of equilibrium. Funny, poetic, ironic & wise, ` The Smell of Summer Grass` is based partly on the long out of print ` Perch Hill`. It traces the growing intimacy between man & his chosen place, his love affair with it & his frustrations with its intractable realities. As an attempt to live out the pastoral vision, it makes one heartfelt plea: we should never abandon our dreams. ...
