It was a moment of mad impulse when John Humphrys decided to buy a semi-derelict cottage and a building site on land overlooking the Aegean. After all, his son, Christopher, already raising his family there, would help build John's dream villa. What could go wrong ...? Everything - from a colony of rats in the cottage, to the peacock taking over his lemon grove. Neighbours proved trickier, one barricaded him in, another set fire to John's fishing boat. And, if you've ever struggled with builders - read this and be grateful. John grew to love and lament the country and its people. And Christopher learned more about John. Here father and son tell a revealing and hilarious story about a country that intrigues and infuriates in equal measure.
