Amanda Owen (Part One)

This week, Emily and Ray are joined by the wonderful Yorkshire shepherdess Amanda Owen. Amanda popped down from her farm in the Yorkshire Dales and instantly fell for Ray, perhaps unsurprisingly given that her life has been shaped by working dogs.Amanda shares the remarkable story of how answering a newspaper ad for a shepherdess job changed her life forever, leading her to Ravenseat Farm. She talks about becoming a much-loved TV presence on Our Yorkshire Farm and Our Farm Next Door, as well as her new children’s book Christmas Tales from the Farm, a heartwarming collection of festive stories inspired by her own life.It’s an honest, uplifting conversation with one of the most resilient and endearing figures on our screens.Follow Amanda on InstagramFollow Emily: Instagram - @emilyrebeccadeanX - @divine_miss_emWalking The Dog is produced by Will NicholsMusic: Rich Jarman Artwork: Alice LudlamPhotography: Karla Gowlett Hosted on Acast.
