Up With The Larks - Hardcover

Leaving her high-powered job and matching lifestyle, Tessa Hainsworth fulfils her dream of moving to rural Cornwall with her family one September. But within months, she's almost ready to return to London. Her husband is juggling jobs; the renovation of their cottage eats into their savings and they're running out of money. Then Tessa starts work with the Royal Mail. In the bitter darkness of midwinter, she's faced with the perils of the Christmas rush, a van with a mind of its own, unfamiliar routes, the locals - and their animals. Yet she learns to love a colourful cast of characters. Her second Christmas in Cornwall is entirely different from the first, as the whole community takes her to their hearts and Cornwall becomes home.
