I know this is an old series (published about 2000) and has been a TV series ( I remember watching a few episodes, different to the books) but I have just found the whole set and I'm having a great time reading them, I'm about to start book 4.
DD (aged 9) is reading them too.
If you fancy a light hearted read. The series follows city folk moving to the country, this is a really easy read. They are about the late 70s early 80s (when many of us NAPMs were growing up) with prices to match (a bunch of flowers 12p, £2 for 1 hour horse riding). They start off by opening a holiday camp/farm for school children and there are some very funny moments which reminded me of my own childhood, one particular chapter was about a group from a catholic school going and a nun accompanies them. It reminded me of my own school days when one of the nuns entered the parents/teachers race at school sports day and won to great amusement and awe - a nun with street cred!
