Publisher Description
Once I was the poster boy for corporate success, but now I’m crashing through the bush in a storm in search of a missing pig. How the hell did we end up here?
Todd and Jeff have had enough of the city. Sick of the daily grind and workaday corporate shenanigans, they throw caution to the wind and buy 100 acres in the renowned Hunter Valley wine region, intent on living a golden bucolic life and building a fabulous B&B, where they can offer the joys of country life to heart-weary souls.
Todd will cook, Jeff will renovate. They have a vineyard, they can make wine. They have space, they can grow their own food. They have everything they need to make their dreams come true.
How hard can it be?
‘This joyously honest account will make you laugh till it hurts, and you’ll shed more than a few tears while being captivated by Todd, Jeff and their menagerie of loveable animals’
Bradley Trevor Greive AM, international bestselling author of The Blue Day Book and Penguin Bloom

Funny, engaging, compassionate, inspiring
What a great read Todd. Thanks for taking me on a journey in the Hunter and for sharing your story authentically. You've created beautiful imagery, funny snippets and inspiration to follow dreams. Thanks for introducing Jeff , he's a keeper . Mostly I enjoyed a window into a part of your life that involved triumphs, mistakes, hard work, a loving relationship and a sense of humour. And ....... I also share the "affliction" cannot cut in a straight line 🤗 no matter how I try . Ange
Brilliant...funny... Oh what a journey...
Todd, thank you for sharing your tree change journey with such honesty and humour. There must have been so many times you wanted to give up. I'm glad you and Jeff have weathered the storm and are living your dream. I can't recall enjoying a story quite so much as this one. Please keep writing! And one day I hope to make it to Block Eight x
