THE YORKSHIRE SHEPHERDESS

By Amanda Owen

Synopsis

Amanda Owen was inspired by the James Herriot books to leave her town life behind and head to the countryside. After working as a freelance shepherdess, she eventually settled down as a farmer’s wife at Ravenseat, alongside her husband Clive and seven children. She reveals how she has dealt with the ups and downs of farming life - from the tragedy of foot and mouth disease to the joy of breeding a champion tup, and from the pleasures of living in tune with the changing seasons to the challenges of raising children in such a remote location.
