The Blurb On The Back:
Sally Urwin and her husband Steve own High House Farm in Northumberland, which they share with two kids, Mavis the sheepdog, one very fat pony and many, many sheep.
From lambing to harvest, in driving snow and on hot summer days, Sally reveals the highs, lows and hard, hard work involved in making a living from the land. Filled with grit and humour, eccentric animals and local characters, this is the perfect book for anyone who has ever wondered what it’s like on the other side of the fence.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Sally Urwin is a 4’ 10” former corporate marketer who became a farmer’s wife when she married Steve a sheep farmer based in Northumberland) and started writing a blog recounting her experiences. This entertaining book that reinforces how difficult farming is both physically and emotionally (made worse by the perilous economics within the industry) is based on some of Urwin’s blog entries and tracks a year of living on the farm.
