What is Kobo Super Points?
I could not even begin to imagine leaving a comfortable life to begin farming in a remote area. I did grow up in a small farming town and glimpsed many of my classmates raising animals to show at the local livestock show, but that is nothing compared to what Ms.
Phillips and her family did. They left all creature comforts behind and bought a farm in the middle of nowhere!
Skeoch – Our new life on a Scottish hill farm | jennie phillips' blog
And they loved it! Reading her descriptions of the Skeoch, it's easy to see why. The author is one of those rare storytellers I could not even begin to imagine leaving a comfortable life to begin farming in a remote area. The author is one of those rare storytellers who knows how to make you feel as if you were actually in the place she is describing.
Jennie Phillips Author
It was easy to visualize the farm and the way it looked in all seasons. In fact, her descriptions made me so curious that I went to check out her website which has some lovely pictures of the house they lived in. I found myself laughing at some of the situations and people that she and her husband encountered from the local village, too. Lots of fun characters who kept life interesting! As I was drawn more and more into the tale, I found myself feeling all kinds of emotions for this brave family. The attachment the author felt for one of her sweet cows, the frustration of spending all that time in the fields making hay--only to have it all blown away in a fierce windstorm, the hardship of having no water due to a drought--it really made me admire the courage it takes for anyone who is a farmer or rancher.
Skeoch - Our new life on a Scottish hill farm
Mother Nature is not always the kindest of beings! I also found it fascinating that her husband was able to balance being a working actor and a farmer. It didn't sound like an easy feat, but somehow they managed to make it all work. This is a book I would definitely recommend for those looking for a lively tale about life on a Scottish farm or who enjoy a well written story sure to keep you turning the pages.
