About this listen

‘I think I bought a house,’ I said, still slightly stunned. I’ve spent longer choosing a tie.

First, a dream of escaping the city...and then a century-old cottage to match the dream. Moving to a small village in the heart of the Irish countryside was the start of a new life for Philip Judge - the beginning of life in sight of Yellow Mountain.

Philip describes the season-by-season charms and frustrations that he, his beloved and, eventually, his two growing boys experience as they adapt to life in the countryside.

There are highs and lows. Wellies are bought. Vegetable patches cultivated. Lambs are born and calves die. There is health and happiness, illness and sadness, and there is weather - always weather. And yet the seasons turn, and Yellow Mountain looks on. The city slicker fails miserably at Name That Grain! and makes many faux pas along the way, but ultimately, this is the story of one man and his family falling in love with the Irish countryside - and, in doing so, finding home.

Highly recommended!

This is a delightful story beautifully read by Philip Judge. It brings to life the seasons over the course of a year in the Irish country side. It contains wonderful accounts of his dear family, his work in the theatre and his great love of good food and drink. A wonderful insight into what makes life precious. Philip’s dulcet tones make the story an absolute joy to listen to.
