Chris Dowding lived a quiet, solitary life as an engineer in Brisbane that changed when he met his future wife Kerryn who, after their wedding, persuaded Chris to move to Ireland — to a new beginning.A Few Drops Short of a Pint is the hilarious account of Chris and Kerryn’s Irish experience. Capturing Chris’s fascinations, frustrations and fears (did you know 58% of all motor accidents in Dublin occur during the day, in high visibility conditions with dry weather on a straight road?) in his new surroundings, the story covers Irish lifestyle issues ranging from water heating to violent political factionalism.A Few Drops Short of a Pint is a powerful story of self-exploration and discovery, showing that sometimes a change of circumstances is all the therapy we need. Jubilant and demoralised in equal measures, this is a story oozing with razor sharp (and often self-deprecating) wit that beautifully captures the experience of transplanting yourself into a foreign culture.
