Fresh Eggs and Dog Beds book two- Nick Albert- Memoirs
This book should carry a warning- Do not read in public places as you may be laughing
out loud. I did several times! Nick and Lesley are now in Ireland having bought their
dream home. I say dream, there is a lot of work to be done before the dream becomes
a reality and being Ireland there are several other factors to take into consideration. I
had to laugh about the Irish weather (my husband's family is Irish). Lashing fire hoses
just about describes it and that if you don’t like the weather- take a breath and it will
no doubt change very shortly. Being well travelled I can safely say there is no weather
like what hits you in Ireland! The fresh egg part of the title comes from the hens (PS-
Nick- a torch in the coop helps get them to bed) and the dog beds from their two lovable
rascals. A story of life and building and the ups and downs that many have experienced
in doing up a property and living in a different place told how it is. How about being
sent home with six persian rugs “ to try them”? No deposit, no names just trust.
Got to love the Irish!
From builders who are trying to rip you off if you can get them to the genuine loveable
characters that make the world go around. This is a real tonic of a read for anyone
who has animals, or has done work on a property or lived in an unfamiliar place- or
maybe just a little escapism. A read with more than a smile- a huge grim and literally
laughing out loud. Thanks Nick- this was a brilliant read and I very much look
forward to the next one.

Fresh Eggs and Dog Beds 2 – Still living the dream in rural Ireland Nick and Lesley's desire for a better life in the countryside was a long-held dream. Unforeseen
events and a leap of faith forced that dream into reality, but moving to rural Ireland was only
the beginning of their story. Foreigners in a foreign land, they set about making new friends, learning the culture and
expanding their collection of chickens and unruly dogs. But their dream home was in desperate
need of renovation, a mammoth task they attacked with the aid of a DIY manual, dwindling
funds and incompetent enthusiasm. With defunct diggers, collapsing ladders, and shocking
electrics, what could possibly go wrong? Will their new life live up to expectations, or will the Irish weather, dangerous roads, and a
cruel twist of fate turn this dream into a nightmare?

Author Bio –
Nick Albert was born in England and raised in a Royal Air Force family. 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 2020. Nick is also the author of the twisty thriller, Wrecking Crew, the first in a series of books
featuring reluctant hero Eric Stone.
