Synopsis

"When Seb moves to Barleybridge, the last thing on his mind is romance. Keen to settle into his first real job and make a good impression, he embraces the working life of a country vet. He has almost forgotten his high maintenance ex-girlfriend Carly and concentrates on working hard at a job he really loves." "He is welcomed by the other members of the Practice and is soon contending with a menagerie of diverse clients. There is the man starting a budgie breeding enterprise who believes that Seb is a top specialist in birds and the woman from Turnham Malpas intent on the legendary Mungo Price's expertise to save her wounded dog. The alpacas with TB and the need to destroy a pony injured in an accident in front of his heartbroken young owner are all part of Seb's steep learning curve." "Seb is to find that his expertise with animals and their owners leads to a friendship with the upper class Jilly and rather more than that with Maggie, whose family own the alpacas. But when a surprise meeting in the Practice turns his head and touches his heart, he knows that these dalliances are nothing but youthful romps."
