Stan: Good.

Written by a close friend of the subjects, Echoes from a Cornish Cliff is the heart-warming, true story of two pioneers of the The Good Life - Jean and Derek Tangye - who left glittering London careers and privileged lifestyles to take on the challenge of a derelict cottage and six scrubby, moorland acres on the edge of a cliff in west Cornwall, almost half a century before the idea became "fashionable. Their dedication, fortitude and courage in the face of countless setbacks and financial disasters never wavered and they unlocked the secret of true happiness by being close to nature and taking pleasure in very simple things - the true values of life. You may already live in a rural area, or plan to escape to the country, or perhaps you have an interest in nature conservation or a self-sufficient lifestyle. You may simply care about Britain's beautiful natural landscape and wildlife. If you answer "yes" to any of the above, this book is for you.

From an unpromising beginning they carved a cosy, self-sufficient home and productive market garden and in , eleven years after taking up residence, Derek Tangye wrote the first of his best-selling Minack Chronicles, beautifully illustrated by his wife, Jean.

They spoke of Derek and Jeannie who gave up the rat-race in London to live in a near-derelict cottage above Lamorna, Dorminack affectionately known as Minack , in the early s, to grow daffodils. The walk also brought back my memories of discovering Minack in It was one year after Derek had died. My full account of our first journey to Minack was printed in the Spring edition of the Flagstaff. I often think about that day when we walked down the lane from Rosemodress as was the case before the lane was closed to the public — now the nearest one can get to the cottage is on Oliver Land , and were saddened to see the speedy dereliction of the empty cottage; we saw the huge, neglected greenhouses, the estate car sitting in long grass, and a discarded handbag and a pair of gardening boots by the barn. The porch was alive though: visitors from all over the globe, had left notes and letters and bags of seed for the wild birds, hoping someone would deal with them. We too, felt the spirit and as Ed started to sketch the cottage, a cat appeared on the path, Ed immediately placed it on the page and with the right sentiment I think, placed Derek there, too.
