Frenchman's Secret

It is the winter holidays at Punchbowl Farm. Dion is busy clearing the top copse and enlists everyone's help in cutting sticks, pulling stumps, and building a huge bonfire. The Jersey cow has her calf out in the valley. The rain comes to brim the lakes above the Mill House where some new friends, Ruth and Roy, have just come to live. There are interesting things to be done indoors and out, there are animals to look after, from ponies to bantams, and there is the wild wet country to enjoy.
