Fergus and Lavinia Moreton have been married for more than 30 years and ''comfortably wrapped up'' in each other for nearly 50. Though they enjoy a life of semi-rural comfort in civilised Middle England, nothing is ever quite right for Fergus, including any foodstuff invented after the 1960s. The matters they disagree about range from the use of animals to keep the lawn down to Fergus'' supposed talent as a player of the bodhran - or any other musical instrument.
