Summary
The Sunday Times best seller.
By the star of Channel 5’s Our Yorkshire Farm.
Amanda Owen loves her traditional life on her hill farm alongside her nine children and husband Clive. And, as listeners of her previous best sellers 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 of 2018 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)

Loved it
Yet another book written by Amanda Owen that leaves you wanting more. Lovely narration by Janine Birkett. I love that Amanda just says it as it is and is a wonderful story teller that keeps your attention all the way through. A must read.

Love the stories
Well written tales. Only downside of the audio books: the squeaky voice to impersonate the children. Otherwise the performance is enjoyable.

Loved the narrator of this book. Stories were great. Got to know some of the growing children and how The Firs came about.

Great book. Badly read.
Amanda Owen writes very well. Her books are engaging and informative. I don’t know why it has to be read in ‘fairytale’ tones as if to a three year old or why Clive has to sound so ‘dim’ which he clearly isn’t.

Naration
I found some of the dialect difficult to understand and I think Amanda Owen would have done a better job

Escaped to Yorkshire whilst locked down.
Beautiful descriptions of life in rural Yorkshire, and lively dialogue of family life together in this beautiful wild spot.
