A Winter Too Many: 16 years have elapsed since Too Long A Winter and a combination of fading health and a series of devastatingly bitter winters culminates in Hannah being heart-wrenchingly driven off her beloved farm. Innocent Abroad: At the ripe old age of 65 Hannah Hauxwell is travelling for the first time. Embarking on the journey of a lifetime Hannah visits the place she once only dreamed of. She retraces the steps of Victorian maiden ladies as her grand tour of Europe commences in Paris and along the way takes in Switzerland Germany Austria and Italy before arriving home in opulent splendour on board the Orient Express.

Hannah Hauxwell is a unique celebrity who has won a place in the affections of people in many countries. Yet despite her fame the television documentaries about her life and her bestselling books she had never ventured beyond the shores of Great Britain; indeed she had scarcely travelled in her own country. For the first half century of her life she lived in a remote Yorkshire Dale totally alone and unknown surviving perilously on a small farm with neither electricity or water on tap. Then in May 1991 Hannah set forth on a grand tour of Europe - the absolute 'Innocent Abroad'.
