Description:
In 1965 Ken and Chris Davies bought a two acre property on the small feudal Island of Sark, in the British Channel Islands. Here they set up a guest house and Chris had to learn to master a solid fuel cooker, cook for up to fourteen guests, and cope without motor transport, as cars are forbidden. Guests were met by horse and carriage and cycling was the main means of transport. Eventually Chris and Ken developed a smallholding. They had to learn to drive a donkey and cart; milk goats and look after 200 hens and hives of bees. Chris also practiced as a private district nurse, helping the only doctor on the island. ‘So You want to Live on Sark’ is an entertaining true story of Chris and Ken’s struggles to survive. It is full of incidents; some funny some sad and we meet many characters as we follow their progress from new arrivals to experienced residents of this unique island. Author - Chris Davies Curtis.
