As seen on 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 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 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.

We have been busy managing our book stock in the library over the last few months to keep our collections up to date and make way for new books coming in.
Our Library Assistant, Sue Clarke, has withdrawn over 400 books and these have been donated to Better World Books where they will hopefully find a new audience! Better World Books is a socially responsible book store and back in April they celebrated having sold a million books, keeping books out of landfill and readers supplied with new material.
Some of the books we have withdrawn are available to buy or swap from the trolley in the library. Please feel free to swap a good quality pre-loved book with one from the trolley or re-home one for a small donation. All donations will go to MacMillan Cancer Support.
We are constantly adding to our catalogue with new and donated books. There is a selection of new titles for this summer currently on display in the library, details are in the library catalogue here.
If you would like us to post one of these books out to you please email academic.library@lscft.nhs.uk or use the self-issue machine in the library when taking books from the display or the library shelves.
