Summary
If Joe and Vicky had known what relocating to a tiny mountain village in Andalucía would really be like, they might have hesitated.
They can have no idea of the culture shock in store for them...no idea they'll become reluctant chicken farmers and own the most dangerous cockerel in Spain...no idea they'll help capture a vulture and be rescued by a mule.
Will they stay, or will they return to the relative sanity of England?

FANTASTIC!!
What a brilliant series! The situations Vicky and Joe find themselves in are so funny and you just can't help but smile listening to all the characters that make up their little Spanish village of El Hoyo. I found myself relating to the Ufarte family the most which was somewhat concerning!
What a fabulous storyteller. 'Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools' is a wonderfully entertaining book. I feel as though I know all of the eccentric characters described in the book, and would recognise them all immediately if I took a trip to the village.
I have listened to all three and have thoroughly enjoyed them. They made me laugh out loud, which earned several me strange looks from fellow dog walkers passing by.
I have since introduced my parents to this series and they are currently listening and is making them laugh just as much. I hope the subsequent books will be released on Audible in the near future as the narrator does a great job of telling the tales of rural Spain.
I can't recommend them enough!

Terrible narration
Story very gentle, however, almost stopped listening as the narration was so patronising. The person reason is obviously used to reading to children. This ruined the enjoyment of the book and will avoid anything read by her again.

You took me there
Thank you. So descriptive. I was transported. I laughed so much. I wish that I were a bit younger. It sounds just like sort of life I would have loved to live.

Heartwarming Funny
This story made me smile and laugh out loud, contentedly listening for much longer than expected each time. It was disappointing when it ended, and I would love to be able to read a follow-up on all of the antics that go on in this village. Thank you
