The Telegraph values your comments but kindly requests all posts are on topic, constructive and respectful. Please review our Katie Fforde is always a good read. This book, in particular, is especially enjoyable for me as the female protagonist is a woman over 40 years of age. So many books out there are about 20-something women looking for love after having had their hearts broken "often". Somewhat hard to relate to as they've not gone through the same things/experiences as a mature woman, i.e. me. The next stage will be for the project to apply for a license from Natural England, and further funding will be needed to complete the project, if this license is granted. The beavers at Paradise Fields will come from Tayside, in Scotland. A pair will come first after the spring mating season and, if they have kits, or offspring, they will join them. But when her old friend and owner of Paradise Fields dies, she knows she must fight to save the meadow and market she loves so dearly.

I think this is perhaps my fav KF and I needed a book version of a warm hug this week. This is when the plot is tight, the elements are all in line and it flows really well. Definately, the winning formula at work. Catherine Rose Gordon-Cumming was born 27 September 1952 in England, UK, the daughter of Shirley Barbara Laub and Michael Willoughby Gordon-Cumming. Her grandfather was Sir William Gordon-Cumming. Her sister is fellow writer Jane Gordon-Cumming. Katie married Desmond Fforde, cousin of the also writer Jasper Fforde. She has three children: Guy, Francis and Briony and didn't start writing until after the birth of her third child. She has previously worked both as a cleaning lady and in a health food cafe. The project will be able to hold around 20 of the animals, with each pair expected to have between two and four kits a year. Dr Roisín Campbell-Palmer, Head of Restoration at the Beaver Trust and licenced ecologist supporting the project believes the Ealing project to be truly unique, offering new insights not previously seen in more rural reintroduction projects.

Paradise Fields by Katie Fforde | Waterstones

Is she ready to take a chance on love? A wonderfully romantic novel from the Sunday Times No 1 bestselling author of A Springtime Affair and A Wedding in the Country. Since then, they have been released in Forty Hall Farm, on the outskirts of north London, and in projects in Hampshire, Devon and Cumbria. The works on Paradise Fields are currently centred on a new fence around the habitat, which the beavers are trusted to make homely by themselves. The demand for beaver meat, fur and the secretion from a small gland used for perfume and pain relief meant they were hunted to the point of their disappearance in the 16th century. What beavers do is create really rich and diverse wetland habitats. They will take even a small, little stream and they will turn it into a series of pools and marshes and wet meadows by damming the stream and creating deeper water.”

The key objectives of our proposed project are:

Beaver Trust is a climate and nature restoration charity restoring beavers to regenerate our landscapes. They provide practical solutions to help people live alongside beavers and support legislation that rebuilds ecosystems and strengthens climate resilience in a time of ecological and climate crisis. Btw – Private landlords provide housing for many people that would otherwise not have homes – they are not all rich with multi properties . If they did n’t provide then the government would have to supply more council houses Beavers are to be introduced into urban London for the first time since they were hunted to extinction 400 years ago.
