The Yorkshire dales have never seemed more beautiful for James — now he has a lovely wife by his side, a partner's plate on the gate and the usual menagerie of farm animals, pets and owners demanding his constant attention and teaching him a few lessons along the way.

All of the old Darrowby friends are on top form — Siegfried thashes round the practice, Tristan occasionally buckles down for finals and James is signed up for a local cricket team.
