Title: Book I'm Really Enjoying
Post by: Marches Farmer on February 07, 2015, 11:11:29 am

Yorkshire Shepherdess by Amanda Owen.  Sent for it after reading an article about her in the Farmer's Guardian.  Brought up in Huddersfield and ended up on a hill farm with a husband, seven children, a big flock of Swaledales and a life she's passionate about.  As a consequence I sent for Hill Shepherd, by John and Eliza Forder, which had inspired her.  Wonderful, evocative photographs - you can see why it had such a big effect.

I loved it too, I was a big fan of hers on 'The Dales'.  she's mad, but brilliant.
