About this listen
From high heels to welly boots–one woman’s misadventures in becoming a farmer, raising a family, and making a living from the land.
Twenty-five years ago, Sally Urwin was living in a tiny flat in the city with a high-pressure job. She was utterly miserable, suffering from depression, and longing for a different life.
When she met and married farmer Steve, she imagined herself wafting around in floral dresses followed by a bevy of rosy-cheeked children.
The reality is quite different....
Sally is usually wearing a jumper covered in sheep poo and bellowing at Mavis the collie to stop chasing Gladys the grumpy pony, and her kids are moaning about being dragged outside while she is caring for a ewe that has ingested a poisonous plant after wandering into the neighbor's garden.
But despite the chaos of juggling motherhood with running a farm, financial hardship, and dealing with poorly animals, the exhilarating freedom of rural life has helped Sally to heal her own body and mind. Lambing season might be backbreaking, but there’s no greater joy than cradling a newborn lamb.
With a mix of grit, humor, and the love of family, Sally shows us that it’s never too late to live the life you’ve always dreamed of.
Fans of The Yorkshire Shepherdess will love this hilarious, heartfelt, and honest account that will have you howling with laughter and sobbing into your tissues in equal measure.

Taking us to the farm
Thank you for this inside look at farm life. I enjoyed your clear writing and the way you connected the reader to the animals on your farm, and the highs and lows that we might be oblivious to. It is insightful for farmers and non-farmers alike.
