Sheepwrecked

Wonderfully observed, witty and wise - a year in the life of the Funny FarmJackie Moffat returns with a new volume of autobiography that brings to life the trials and tribulations, the occasional pitfall and the many pleasures of rural living and running a small working farm in one of the most beautiful parts on England - Cumbria, and more specifically the Eden Valley. Jackie Moffat recounts - in her own inimitable way - a year in the life of Rowfoot farm and the many individuals (both two- and four-legged) who make it such a colourful, entertaining and often rather eccentric experience.
