This is a relocation book like no other. Read about David Collins' crazy but ultimately successful scheme to leave a well-paid career in the UK and reinvent himself as the 'Algarve Asparagus Man' in a tiny Portuguese village way back in the 1980s. You'll be laughing and you'll be crying when you read about the trials and tribulations he and his wife had to endure: flash floods and frosts which nearly ruined the first asparagus crop; the colourful Portuguese locals; the struggle to learn Portuguese; and the twists and turns at every bureaucratic step of their journey.
