in such a rural backwater. Amanda also evokes the peace of winter,

water, the happiness of spring and the lambing season, and the
backbreaking tasks of summertime - haymaking and sheepshearing -

there with new appreciation. Read more inspiring tales of life as a

Clive, eight children and 1,000 sheep. In A Year in the Life of the

to a new baby girl. She is touched by the epic two-day journey of a

Daily Mail ______________________________ Amanda Owen loves her
traditional life on her hill farm alongside her nine children and
husband Clive. And, as readers of her previous bestsellers will
know, every day at Ravenseat brings surprises. In Adventures of the
Yorkshire Shepherdess Amanda takes us from her family's desperate
race to save a missing calf to finding her bra has been repurposed
as a house martin's nest, and from wild swimming to the brutal
winter that almost brought her to her knees. As busy as she is with
her family and flock though, an exciting new project soon catches
her eye . . . Ravenseat is a tenant farm and may not stay in the
family, so when Amanda discovers a nearby farmhouse up for sale,
she knows it is her chance to create roots for her children. The
old house needs a lot of renovation and money is tight, so Amanda
sets about the work herself, with some help from a travelling monk,
a visiting plumber and Clive. It's fair to say things do not go
according to plan! Funny, evocative and set in a remote and
beautiful landscape, this book will delight anyone who has hankered
