A Year In The Life Of
The Yorkshire
Shepherdess
£6.99
In A Year in the Life of the Yorkshire Shepherdess she describes the age-old cycles of a farming year & the constant challenges the family faces, from being cut off in winter to tending their flock on some of Yorkshires highest, bleakest moors
- land so inaccessible that in places it can only be reached on foot.

Writing with her trademark warmth & humour, Amanda takes us into her life as nine-year-old Miles gets his first flock, Reuben takes up the flugelhorn & she gives birth to a new baby girl. She is touched by the epic two-day journey of a mother sheep determined to find her lamb & gives a new home to an ageing & neglected horse.

Meanwhile Clive is almost arrested on a midnight stakeout to catch a sheep-worrying dog & becomes the object of affection for a randy young bull.

Funny, poignant & charming, A Year in the Life of the Yorkshire Shepherdess is a must for anyone interested in the countryside & those who farm it.

This paperback book has 344 pages & measures: 19.6 x 13 x 2cm

A Year with the Angels
A Year With The Angels
£2.99
Many people have trouble focusing the right sort of thought-power into connecting with angels. The struggle of everyday life gets in the way, they feel self conscious & unsure of themselves, afraid that it's all in their head, & their brains need a more logical & structured approach to the subject in order to succeed. If only they could text or email their angel! Of course, this isn't possible, but there are lots of practical steps that can help make the process easier & more rewarding. Covering one month at a time, A Year with the Angels gives the reader a strategy to follow & pinpoints the information people need to tame their modern-day, left-centred brains & 'get their heads around' a very real & lasting connection with the angels. ...

A Year In The Saddle

Another year in cycling's inexorable rise. The 2012 Tour de France and the Olympic Games in London has catapulted Bradley Wiggins and several track stars into limelight - and a million 'mamils' (middle aged men in lycra) will be choking up the country lanes of Britain and Europe every Sunday morning. This book is unashamedly written with love for the mamil. The mamil dreams of the romance of the great pro races such as Paris-Roubaix plus weekends away in Italy and France, not to mention the home-grown routes in Wales and Scotland. He wants to walk back into work on Monday morning and announce with a flourish: "This time yesterday morning, I was half-way up Alpe d'Huez." Taking in 12 cycling challenges, one a month for a year, across Britain and northern and southern Europe, this
beautiful book chronicles the experiences of two mamils and looks at what it takes to tackle some of the most iconic events in cycling. With breathtaking photography and lively text that conveys exactly how it feels to be by turns frozen, baked, lost, exhausted but utterly exhilarated and inspired this is a book that will resonate with any aspiring road rat.
