The heartwarming story of the ups and downs of life on a farm, from much-loved shepherdess Emma Gray

Emma Gray was just 23 when she moved to a remote Northumberland farm, becoming Britain's youngest solo shepherdess. In the seasons that followed, Emma fell in love with her way of life - and even found romance along the way.


But when Emma finds herself suddenly alone again, heartbroken, and recovering from a serious accident, she can't help but wonder if her isolated existence is still such a sensible idea. Even if she could recover, how could she make a proper living on Fallowlees Farm?


Written with warmth and humour, in My Farming Life Emma reveals how she picks herself, became one of the country's most successful breeders and trainers of Border Collies, and how she - much to her surprise - finds true love and lasting happiness where she least expects it.
