For most people, giving up the day job and moving to a beautiful area of France is an impossible but delicious dream. In 1990, Patricia Atkinson and her husband sold up in England and emigrated to the Dordogne to a ramshackle farmhouse surrounded by vines. The vines were meant only as a recreation but then came the recession: they lost everything apart from their dream house and the vineyard which was now their sole source of income. Disaster followed disaster: the first red wine harvest turned to vinegar and Patricia's husband developed a series illness and returned to Britian. Patricia, whose sole knowledge of wine up to that moment was ' that it came from a bottle' and who had not a word of French, was left on her own to salvage what she could of their life savings.
