Set in a beautiful, wild landscape, and in use for generations, it's perfect for Sally's honest and charming account of farming life. From stock sales to lambing sheds, out in the fields in driving snow and on hot summer days, Diary of a Pint-Sized Farmer reveals the highs, lows and hard, hard work involved in making a living from the land. Filled with grit and humor, newborn lambs and local characters, this is the perfect book for anyone who has ever wondered what it's like to leave the city and find a new life on the other side of the fence"--

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Sally Urwin is (probably) the shortest farmer in England and lives with her family and a lot of sheep in Northumberland. She used to work in the most depressing job in the world-marketing manager for a bankruptcy practitioner-but made a bid for freedom after nabbing farmer Steve from the Dating Direct website in 2001.
