The Sunday Times Top 10 bestseller by the star of More4's Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive & the Kids and Channel 5’s Our Yorkshire Farm.

'With its fizzing energy and celebration of nature and community, this is perfect comfort reading for uncertain times' – 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 after a new life in the country.

Critic reviews

Amanda’s life is one of old-fashioned values, hard graft and plenty of love. She, like her life, is extraordinary. (Ben Fogle)
With its fizzing energy and celebration of nature and community, this is perfect comfort reading for uncertain times.
A fabulous read
A really lovely, lyrical story of the ups and downs of their life. (Daily Mail on A Year in the Life of the Yorkshire Shepherdess )

This is a delightful book which takes the reader into the lives of the characters and brings one into the working heart of the Dales.
It was only spoiled for me by the narrator’s attempts at the accents of the characters. Surely the men don’t speak so miserably? Or perhaps they do!!

Great stories

Coming from the hills of Scotland it’s lovely to hear the Yorkshire version of our lives. The tales told in this book are wonderful, mixing a bygone age with modern farming. The only bugbear I have is the narrators version of the spoken Yorkshire men, she makes them all sound slightly deranged and not quite the full ticket, it gets worse as the book goes on which I found to be quite irritating, sorry.

Lovely book

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the tales of Amanda and Clive’s farm and family life. It was great to be whisked away to a down to Earth life in the Dales. I love their typical matter of fact just get on with it attitude and how their children are involved in the day to day running off the farm and The Firs. Well fine Amanda

Tell it like it is, love the adventures of Amanda and family.
