Dicky Tottering lives with his wife, Daffy, and extended family in the dilapidated family pile, Tottering Hall. However, twenty-first century life for the lord of the manor is not quite how it used to be. While struggling at times to find his place in today's world, Dicky presents a uniquely British view of life for men of a certain age, coming to grips with the particular demands of grandchildren, retirement, the latest gadgets and a wife like Daffy. Whether dealing with universal themes such as ageing, relationships, and inter-generational differences or highlighting typical gentlemen's past times, this selection of cartoons from award-winning artist, Annie Tempest, illustrate daily life through his eyes only. Tottering-by-Gently cartoons have appeared weekly in Country Life magazine since 1994.
