EMMA GRAY'S NEW BOOK 'MY FARMING LIFE' ('A HEARTWARMING TALE OF LIFE
ON THE LAND' Alan Titchmarsh) IS OUT NOW
What happens when you swap 'I do' for pastures new?
When twenty-three-year-old shepherdess Emma Gray breaks off her
engagement, the chance to take over an isolated Northumberland farm
seems just the fresh start she needs. But while the beautiful scenery
certainly offers plenty of scope for contemplation, a night out with an
eligible bachelor soon seems more remote than the farm itself. And once
you add fugitive sheep and freak blizzards into the mix, Emma's dreams
of a happy future at Fallowlees Farm quickly begin to fade.
Throughout the long nights of lambing, the highs and lows of the local
sheepdog trials and the day-to-day chores of maintaining a large,
ramshackle farm, Emma's collies are her most loyal companions. With
Bill, Fly, Roy and Alfie by her side, she'll never really be alone.
Emma's remarkable first year at Fallowlees - the triumphs, the
disasters, the heartbreak and the glimmer of romance on the horizon - is
an inspiration for anyone who has ever dreamt of changing their life and
starting all over again.

plenty to chuckle at too'
