A Year in the Life of the Yorkshire Shepherdess

In A Year in the Life of the Yorkshire Shepherdess she describes the ageold 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 nineyearold 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 twoday 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 sheepworrying dog and becomes the object of affection for a randy young bull.
