During the thirty years that 'Tottering-by-Gently' has appeared weekly in Country Life magazine, the Tottering family – all three generations of them – have been seen enjoying diverse pastimes and sporting pursuits including tennis, riding, skiing, golf, sailing, fishing and cricket. This latest, keenly anticipated offering is illustrated with more than 100 of Annie's superb colour cartoons and is a winning celebration of the Totterings – and the British – at play.

Soon after, she joined the Daily Mail with the 'Yuppies' cartoon strip which ran for more than seven years and for which, in 1989, she was awarded Strip Cartoonist of the Year. Since 1993 Annie Tempest has been charting the life of Daffy and Dicky Tottering in Tottering-by-Gently – the phenomenally successful weekly strip cartoon in Country Life.
