Fresh Eggs and Dog Beds by Nick Albert - Memiors
“How would they cope with banks that didn’t want customers, builders who
didn’t need work, or the complex issue of where to buy some chickens?”
didn’t need work, or the complex issue of where to buy some chickens?”
Nick has just given up his job due to his health and fortunately redundancy was on the
table. He has led a very stressful life and now it’s time for something new. They are
looking for somewhere new to live to downsize price wise. After working out the
logistics Ireland becomes a possibility. They take a short break to discover what the
Emerald Isle has to offer and discover much more than they ever thought! Drivers
who wave, people who chat, odd and eccentric nuances that they would never have
found in England. I loved this and took to it very early on. It is clearly written from
the heart and with a sense of humour along the way. After much deliberation they
find their dream house and then a solicitor who doesn’t want to to deal with it
because of its problems. Along the way people selling a house who want to live
in it for a year free of charge once it has been purchased. Only in Ireland!
A truly wonderful entertaining read that I highly recommend. Love it and can’t
wait for the next one.

Fresh Eggs and Dog Beds Nick and Lesley Albert yearn to leave the noise, stress and pollution of modern Britain and
move to the countryside, where the living is good, the air sweet, with space for their dogs
to run free. Suddenly out of work and soon to be homeless, they set off in search of a new
life in Ireland, a country they had never visited. As their adventure began to unfold, not
everything went according to plan. If finding their dream house was difficult, buying it
seemed almost impossible. How would they cope with banks that didn’t want customers,
builders who didn’t need work, or the complex issue of where to buy some chickens?

After leaving College
he worked in retail management for several years before moving into financial services
where he quickly progressed through the ranks to become a training consultant. As a very
passionate and reasonably talented sportsman, Nick had always wanted to use his training
skills towards creating a parallel career, so in the mid 1980's he qualified and began coaching
sport professionally. After a health scare in 2003 and in search of a simpler life, he and his
wife Lesley, cashed in their investments, sold their home and bought a rundown farmhouse in
the rural west of Ireland - a country they had never before even visited. With little money or
experience and armed only with a do-it-yourself manual, they set about renovating their
new home, where they now live happily alongside a flock of chickens, two ducks and several
unruly, but delightful dogs. In 2017 Nick was signed to Ant Press to write a series of humorous memoirs about his life in
rural Ireland. Fresh Eggs and Dog Beds (book one) was published in September 2017 and
soon became an Amazon bestseller. Book two in the series was published on 1st June 2018
and book 3 in August 2019. Book four is due out in early 2020.
Nick is also the author of the twisty thriller, Wrecking Crew, the first in a series of books
featuring reluctant hero Eric Stone.
