What if the secret to a good life was simply caring a great deal less?
Housekeeping for Hallions is an affectionate and wickedly funny guide to the art of living simply, cutting corners with conviction, and finding profound wisdom in cheerful neglect.
A hallion, for the uninitiated, is an Irish term for that most admirable of characters - slightly chaotic, entirely charming, and utterly indifferent to what the neighbours think. Writing from Clogher in Co Tyrone, Des Donnelly has distilled the hallion philosophy into an essential handbook: part survival guide, part quiet rebellion against the relentless pursuit of domestic perfection - a pursuit that, as any hallion will tell you, is largely unnecessary and suspiciously exhausting.
Inside this book:
* Fridge archaeology, and the ethics of eating from the saucepan
* Wellington etiquette, and the case for one good pair
* The correct attitude to ironing (don't)
* Why mirrors should always be small or cracked
* The freezer as a form of long-term postponement
For anyone who has ever boiled an egg in a dirty saucepan or regarded an unmade bed as a sign of good character rather than poor housekeeping, this book will feel like coming home.
