If Clouds Were Sheep: A warm and humorous tale of sheep farming in the Cotswolds

by Sue Andrews

Overview

'An enchanting picture of farming life, full of warmth and humour' ~ Katie Fforde

It seems an impossible dream at first for Sue and Aubrey. She is a horse-mad girl strongly attracted to the idea of farming, Aubrey is the son of a farm manager without land or money. But with limited knowledge, much enthusiasm and the challenge of raising their young family, anything can happen.

This is the true story of a shepherding life; where icy nights are spent searching for lost sheep, the lambing sheds are filled with the first cries of newborns, and idyllic summers are spent in the show ring.

Amusing, poignant and beautifully detailed, this is a book about how dreams can grow from small beginnings into breeding prize-winning Texel sheep in the Cotswolds.

Sue and Aubrey Andrews are internationally renowned breeders of pedigree Texels. Perfect for fans of The Yorkshire Shepherdess and The Shepherd's Life.

Editorial Reviews

Loved the book! Describes so well the joys and frustrations of working with sheep. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed reading about the start of Sue and Audrey's life with sheep. It was an easy and fun read with many things I could relate to as a sheep farmer.
I bought it to read through lambing, but i couldn't wait that long!

Just loved reading about two very special people and their life together. You don't have to be into farming to enjoy the book, an insight into family life, love and all that goes with it. Highly recommended. Absolutely brilliant, can't wait for the next one!

Very well written. Brings sheep farming to life. Especially for those of us who have no farming experience at all. Would recommend.
