When her Uncle Arthur dies, actress Phyllida Law returns to the tiny Scottish village of Ardentinny to look after her ma, Mego. Mego's always been deliciously dotty. She once put a new packet of tights in the fridge (and the bacon in her sock drawer). But Mego's older now & becoming ever more muddled. So Phyllida devotes herself to looking after Mego, but not without the help of friends, local villagers, & her two daughters, actresses Emma & Sophie Thompson: pulling together, they maintain order in the cottage, find Delia on the telly & keep Mego's spirits up-with a G&T if all else fails.

Phyllida's account captures the warmth & tenderness of two generations of daughters brought together to care for their much-loved mother & grandmother. ...
