BBC journalist and environmentalist Rory Spowers wanted to finally
live his dream and abandon life in London for a more ecologically
sustainable lifestyle. Moving with his wife and two toddler sons to
a 60-acre abandoned tea estate in Sri Lanka, Rory sets out to
create a model organic farm there and earn his livelihood from the
land. The fascinating story begins with the tsunami and Rory's
sudden involvement with the relief efforts, and charts the course
of his adventures over 12 months culminating in the launch of his
new business (making a living by selling the produce he grows). It
chronicles the highs and lows of this radical change, and reveals
what it takes to live a sustainable life. It will also include tips
for those of you who wish to live a more environmentally friendly
life. Spowers' writing in 'Three Men on a Bike', which recounted
his story of buying the Goodies' bicycle and riding it across
Africa for charity, was compared with Bryson, Palin and Hawks' for
his storytelling, humour and intrepid spirit. Spowers' narrative
brims with adventure, harrowing moments, and small triumphs as he
comes to know the people and the land and works toward creating his
dream of a sustainable, model forest garden.
