What the Flock ! by Sally Irwin

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…
I loved this no holes barred , tell it like it is , account of life down on the farm .
Her life that went from being a city girl to that of marrying a farmer and being welly deep in the thick of it ( mainly poo ) was a joy to read.
It was great to hear of how she adjusted and ( mainly ) thrived to settle into her new lifestyle .
Honest and funny , and showed Sally off as a great farmer and author . I hope she continues to share her life with us.
