The Yorkshire Dales have never seemed more beautiful for James. Now he has a lovely wife by his side, a partners 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 formSiegfried thashes round the practice, Tristan occasionally buckles down for finals, and James is signed up for a local cricket team.
