Carol Drinkwater still has a thirst to act

SHE is still remembered fondly by legions of fans as Helen Herriot in the much-loved television series All Creatures Great and Small but Carol Drinkwater is now better known for her books — of which she has sold well over a million copies.
Drinkwater spends much of her time in Provence in France, where she and her husband have an olive farm which they rescued from ruin almost 30 years ago.
