Our Yorkshire Farm

[grumpy52]

Anyone else watch it ?
I found it rather uplifting .
A different life compared to most on here .

[Long Drax]

Yes. Rather nice to watch.

Nine children under 15! Where on earth do they find the time/energy to run a hill farm?

Catching up on it tonight - Lambing time.

Those kids restore your faith in Human Nature don’t they?

Lambing skills at two years old!

The 14 year old leads a search party of his siblings searching for lost lambs

Brilliant!

It was funny when she suddenly bought the pony and then thought about getting it in the Land Rover.

Watched the latest version last night. It felt staged. I think this programme has run its course.

[Muppet007]

I quite enjoyed it. Taking on a new farm, good luck!!

I agree some parts and family chats look staged or rehearsed but that might be due to this new series being filmed by the Owen family themselves due to covid restrictions, we still enjoyed it though.

Apparently Amanda Owen does lecture tours. I am told her fee is around £5,000 a time.

Good luck to her.

The Sun and Daily Mail reporting the marriage is on the rocks.

Shame if true but I only joked with my Mrs a few months ago that the fame seems to be going to her head and she’ll probably run off with a female production crew member soon.

Anyhow enjoyed the new series last night.

She's on tour which makes you wonder about poor old Clive having to look after the kids as well as the animals.

If true about the marriage it seems a shame for the kids who were instrumental in getting her where she is now and who are still kids.

I've always found it a bit odd that she claims to have rejected a potential career in modeling as she hated all the glamour and "girly clothes" etc ... and yet from pretty much the start of her tv exposure she's almost always dressed in very short skirts, slinky tops and full make up often in the most incongruous situations I.e. on the hills gathering sheep in foul weather.

My other half is quite sniffy about her.

Sad to hear about the possible split - but it happens in so many families and particularly where a big age gap is present. What I would say is that 4 years ago we were walking the coast to coast - blistering day and stumbled across a farm selling cream teas - absolute godsend after a long day on the moors. Striking blond lady (in a floaty dress) came out, chatted, made scones and tea and brought them over for us. No cameras present - just a very friendly chatty individual - no heirs and graces.

It wasn't until I went to pay in the farm that I noticed some books for sale on side table in the entrance arch. Neither of us had any clue who Amanda was - but I bought a book for my wife as a thank you for the great service. Which is how we discovered the Yorkshire Shepherdess. Not a diva, not someone who just glams up for the cameras, just a very approachable and genuine person.

I was only saying to a friend of mine a short while ago they looked mismatched, he was punching well above his weight there.
