Emma Gray was just 23 when she moved to a remote Northumberland farm, becoming Britain's youngest solo shepherdess. In the seasons that followed, Emma fell in love with her way of life - and even found romance along the way. But when Emma finds herself suddenly alone again, heartbroken, and recovering from a serious accident, she can't help but wonder if her isolated existence is still such a sensible idea. Even if she could recover, how could she make a proper living on Fallowlees Farm? Written with warmth and humour, in My Farming Life Emma reveals how she picks herself, became one of the country's most successful breeders and trainers of Border Collies, and how she - much to her surprise - finds true love and lasting happiness where she least expects it.
Emma Gray is a young shepherdess who has lived on the National Trust farm Fallowlees in Northumberland for ten years, joined by her husband Ewan and their baby Len. She is a record-breaking trainer of sheepdogs, and competes in trials with her own dogs. Emma has starred in ITV's celebrity shepherding contest FLOCKSTARS, BBC One's COUNTRYFILE and BBC Two's THIS FARMING LIFE.
