In the Middle of Somewhere

By Tessa Woodward

Age Groups: 18+

Kath, a restless 30-something, is tired of her noisy life in London. She persuades her partner Ben to move to a village in the Kent countryside. Together they navigate the problems of finding a place to live and work. But then find that rural life is not the paradise they had expected. Life in the slow lane is changing, and fast. Will Kath and Ben stay in their newfound hamlet? Will they flee back to the big smoke? How will they be seen by the locals? Will the couple even stay together?
This humorous series of episodes, based loosely on the author’s own experiences, takes us beyond the image of thatched country cottages and peaceful games of cricket on the village green. Instead, we find quirky characters, cracked church bells, fiercely competitive gardeners and housing developments threatening the orchards.
