I didn't realise the amount of chemicals I was putting on and into my body on a daily basis, Wendyl has opened my eyes and I am embracing the “live like a nana” philosophy. A Home Companion is a wonderfully written book, with some sage advice, comedy and helpful hints – well worth having on your shelf, in fact mine is so well used its looking tattered already.

Description
Wendyl Nissen is well-known as a straight talking journalist whose career has seen her edit top-selling magazines, produce ground-breaking television documentaries and take on talkback radio callers without batting a heavily made-up eyelid. But what happened when she let three chickens called Marigold, Hillary and Yoko into her life on 24 October 2008?
A Home Companion details Wendyl's year-long journey towards self sufficiency. The book details each home discovery as it happens - both the triumphs and the disasters - while Wendyl slowly sheds her corporate life and takes to wearing yards of muslin, leather sandals and forgets to straighten her hair.
A Home Companion is the book for any woman who finds herself yearning to get her hands covered in soil, rid her house of nasty chemicals, nurture her family and become a green goddess - even if it's just at the weekends.
