Sebastian is a Londoner through and through. Apart from a few trips as a child, he's never left the city. If he had his way, he never would.
But then, on his 24th birthday, a group of friends challenge him to prove he's a real man by travelling to Devon to live and work on a smallholding for a whole week.
Lovers of Darling Buds of May or the James Herriot vet books will enjoy following Sebastian's life changing adventures in the village of Steepleford.
