Think instead unbecoming waterproofs, the same shirt worn for a week, jeans smeared with gobs of birth-fluid and mustard-coloured lamb-skitter. Calf-length crinoline gowns are so out of fashion for the modern shepherdess!Why do I do this job, I ask myself? Why am I up at sparrow’s fart each day, with no days off, a pitiful rate of pay and bosses who are variously cantankerous, cussed or crazy?Then there is a rare day on the hill when the lark rises into the clear air above Skirly Crag, thrilling the glen with its reedy melody, and all is well with the world.","brand":"Luath Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52287198069024,"sku":"9781804252826","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781804252826_3056013.jpg?v=1788233230","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/skirly-crag-helen-percy-9781804252826","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
