My Farming Life

Tales from a Shepherdess on a Remote Northumberland Farm

De: Emma Gray

Narrado por: Helen McAlpine

As seen on BBC 2's hit TV show This Farming Life.

Emma Gray was just 23 when she moved to an isolated farm in Northumberland, becoming Britain's youngest solo shepherdess. In the seasons that followed, Emma fell in love with its rolling fields, sycamore trees and sturdy farmhouse, where she tended her sheep and trained her dogs - and even found romance along the way.

But when Emma finds herself suddenly alone again, heartbroken, mourning the loss of loved ones and recovering from a serious accident, she can't help but wonder if her isolated existence is still such a sensible idea. Even if she could recover, how could she make a proper living on Fallowlees Farm?

In her heart-warming new book, Emma reveals how she picks herself up from these setbacks to become one of the country's most successful trainers of Border Collies and how she - much to her surprise - finds true love and lasting happiness where she least expects it.

Written with warmth and humour, My Farming Life is testament to the healing power of nature and a joy for anyone who's ever dreamed of living closer to it.

Love it!

Great book! Inspiring and heart felt. Such a quiet and peaceful land full of stories and adventure.

Excellent

I really enjoyed listening to this book. It was interesting and extremely well performed. I hope the author will continue chronicling her life in a third book. And I hope the same person reads it.

Beautiful story!

Beautiful story, beautifully read. Makes you want to pack up and move to Scotland to become a farmer.

Wonderful

You can’t be unhappy listening to this charming, wonderful book about life near the Scottish border, sheep, dogs and utterly fantastic determination. Emma has written two jewels and Helen’s voice is pitch perfect. I can’t stop listening.

Sweet enjoyment

Loved this so much! This seemed like a dessert after a meal. I will indulge again!
