Urban dreams, rural realities - Daniel Butler

URBAN DREAMS...Daniel Butler and Bel Crewe are increasingly dissatisfied with the direction of their lives. First they find each other; then they fantasise about the great escape. Fired by Daniel's dream of self-sufficiency and spurred on by Bel's pregnancy, they sell their London flats to buy a remote and dilapidated farmhouse high up in the Welsh hills.
RURAL REALITIES...It is New Year's Eve, and Bel is six months pregnant. It has been raining for two months and the locals talk of a big freeze. They have no waterproof clothing and no form of heat. Bel is desperate, but Daniel is in paradise. As tensions inevitably show, surely things can only get better...?
