In 1982, Jackie Moffat and her family—armed with a bucketload of optimism, stout boots, and a highly developed sense of the ridiculous moved from London to Cumbria. Their destination was the Eden Valley, and a small stock-rearing and dairy farm called Rowfoot. There they have spent the last 20 years getting to grips with the practice of running a working farm, keeping sheep, cattle, pigs, and horses, becoming part of the community, and coping with the ups and downs of farming life.

Enjoyable read. Learned lots of British-isms and a lot about shepherding sheep and goats. Would love to visit the Eden Valley area someday. Sounds gorgeous. Will definitely read her second book, Sheepwrecked.
