Jo and Jan May's continuing trek around the UK. Jo on a bike, Jan in the van - a plumber's van with facilities, as he calls it.

Although not exactly planned in advance, they adopt a donkey and a chimpanzee! Touching stories both.

On their travels, Jan visits a Spiritual Centre in the middle of Edinburgh, then a Buddhist Retreat in the middle of nowhere while Jo takes to his bike for some amazing rides. Through 'golfing heaven' to North Berwick where he meets a lobster fisherman. He rides around stunning Loch Katrine in the Trossachs National Park and they visit the incredible giant Kelpies near Falkirk. Amazing times.

Fossil hunting on Christmas Day on the Jurassic Coast and visit the Isle of Wight where they adopt Joseph, their festively-named donkey. At Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre near Wareham, enter Pacito, a characterful rescued chimp who not only charms them into adopting him, but also writes the Foreword to this book!

As Jo says, 'We meet many amazing people in so many beautiful places. You have to do something badly wrong to make a mess of opportunities like that.'
