Summary:
From bestselling author Amanda Owen come more tales of
life
at Ravenseat, the remote
Yorkshire
hill farm she shares with husband Clive, eight children and 900 sheep. In her new book 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-rustling dog and becomes the object of affection for a randy young bull. Funny, poignant and charming, this is a must for anyone interested in the countryside and those who farm it.
