An intimate account of life on the farm by Amanda Owen, the Yorkshire Shepherdess, as she describes their work through the changing seasons.

A charming book by Amanda Owen, star of Our Yorkshire Farm, giving an intimate view of life at Ravenseat for herself, husband Clive and their nine children.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Sunday Times bestseller, now in paperback with new material covering another twelve months on the farm with the Yorkshire Shepherdess.

In Celebrating the Seasons, Amanda Owen shares funny and charming stories about life with her family and their many four-legged charges and describes their activities at Ravenseat, from lambing and shearing in spring to haymaking in summer and feeding the flock in midwinter. She vividly evokes the famous Swaledale landscape, from the sweeping moors to rare wildflowers and elusive hares glimpsed in the field.

Amanda lives in tune with nature, and her attitude to food is the same. She believes in using good, seasonal ingredients when it comes to feeding her family, and includes some of her favourite recipes here, from wild garlic lamb with hasselback potatoes to rhubarb and custard crumble cake and Yorkshire curd tart. The book also includes her Dalesman columns, published in book form for the first time, providing new insights into her life.

As inspirational as Amanda herself, this book will delight everyone who has followed her adventures so far.
