The Sunday Times bestseller full of inspiring tales of life as a
shepherdess, by the star of Channel 5's Our Yorkshire Farm. From
bestselling author Amanda Owen come more stories of life at
Ravenseat, the remote Yorkshire hill farm she shares with husband
Clive, eight children and 1,000 sheep. In A Year in the Life of the
Yorkshire Shepherdess she describes the age-old cycles of a farming
year and the constant challenges the family faces, from being cut
off in winter to tending their flock on some of Yorkshire's
highest, bleakest moors - land so inaccessible that in places it
can only be reached on foot. Writing with her trademark warmth and
humour, Amanda takes us into her life as nine-year-old Miles gets
his first flock, Reuben takes up the flugelhorn and she gives birth
to a new baby girl. She is touched by the epic two-day journey of a
mother sheep determined to find her lamb and gives a new home to an
ageing and neglected horse. Meanwhile Clive is almost arrested on a
midnight stakeout to catch a sheep-worrying dog and becomes the
object of affection for a randy young bull. Funny, poignant and
charming, A Year in the Life of the Yorkshire Shepherdess is a must
for anyone interested in the countryside and those who farm it.
'Amanda Owen is like a breath of fresh air. Amanda's life is one of
old-fashioned values, hard graft and plenty of love. She, like her
life, is extraordinary' - Ben Fogle
