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.

Please write more like this!

I couldn't get enough of Amanda Owen's three books. I listened to them twice and was delighted to find more of her life with her family on the farm on social media. I am a devoted follower! The narration of Amanda's books is excellent. The descriptions of the farm and weather make me feel like a participant in her life. Please don't stop here, Amanda! I want to watch your babies grow up. Don't leave us hanging.

Lovely book to listen to

All of her stories are interesting to listen to and easy to follow! Highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys hearing about farming life or funny short stories. Amanda does a wonderful job of writing these chapters for reader/listener enjoyment while running a farm and wrangling her 8+ children.

Terrible narration

Terrible narrator! Ruins the whole book, not an enjoyable listen at all.
I enjoyed reading the books, but she really ruined this for me now
