The celebrants were their friends reg and George, who had moved to deepest rural Wales in 1972, not long after the decriminalisation of homosexuality. When reg and George died within a few weeks of each other in 2011, Mike and peredur discovered that they had been left their home: a whitewashed house from the childrens stories, buried deep within the hills. They had also been left a lifetime collection of diaries, photographs, letters and books, All revealing an extraordinary history. On the Red Hill is the story of Rhiw Goth, the Red Hill and its inhabitants, but also the story of a remarkable rural community and a legacy that extends far beyond bricks and mortar. On the Red Hill celebrates the turn of the yearly wheel, of ever-changing landscapes and of the family to be found in the unlikeliest of places. Taking the four seasons, the four elements and these four lives as his structure, Mike Parker creates a lyrical but clear-eyed exploration of the natural world, the challenges of accepting ones place in it and what it can mean to find home.
