Not me, thanks, but enjoy

[emmie]

i have watched some, they are an extraordinary family, one that i wish i could emulate.....

[barry1010]

I remember when they were first on tv, on Adrian Edmondson's The Dales in 2011. Seen quite enough of them over the years

[Bobbisox1]

They really seem to have the right mix with the way they raise the kids , I believe APG, knows of them as her farm is quite near,
Those kids have immaculate manners ,you’ll not see them ‘yobbing’ it anywhere

I have enjoyed the previous series and will, no doubt , enjoy this new series. Have you read her books? They are a real joy. Such a lovely family.

[roopower]

I'm looking forward to this as well.

[Bobbisox1]

I’ve got them on my kindle to read yet Mally

[AuntPollyGrey]

Honestly, they are lovely kids but go to any farm in this area and you will see the same thing -maybe not as many in the family, but all really polite and hardworking. Amanda has been very clever in promoting her lifestyle and I don't blame her, but some of the scenes have to be taken with a huge pinch of salt and they do tend to play to the cameras an awful lot. I can understand how a lot of people enjoy watching that sort of thing, but I've never watched more than five minutes and OH can't stand it. I wonder who looks after the children when she is doing book tours and TV interviews? LOL! (the nanny no one sees........?)

[Bobbisox1]

Haha, I suppose us townies can get immersed in the idyllic lifestyle we see ( well damned hard work) that I couldn’t do, I think it takes special kind of people to do hill farming etc, remember Hannah Hawxwell?

[AuntPollyGrey]

Hannah Hauxwell was very well known around here. OH's dad knew her very well. She had a huge funeral in Barnard Castle the whole place came to a standstill. She lived like a Tramp and when she retired and moved into a nice cottage in Cotherstone she turned that into a dirty old place too. Just what she knew really I suppose, but I did enjoy watching her programmes.

[Bobbisox1]

It was documentaries that I’ll never forget about her, no running water ,electricity ,a very lonely existence , I remember was it her brother or some family member got her to retire to the small cottage ?

[AuntPollyGrey]

I don't think she had any close family Bobbi, except I think a few distand cousins. She went to live in Cotherstone as her health was failing, then ended up in a nursing home, I think in Barnard Castle.

[Bobbisox1]

So that’s two things Barneys famous for then ;0)

[Zacs-Master]

It's very good. But I do think the designer coats and fancy 4x4s which the series have brought are spoiling it a little.

[Bobbisox1]

I’m possibly getting her mixed up with Susan Boyle , vastly different but both stars in their own field

[barry1010]

Hannah wasn't as old as people assumed, she was in her late 40s when she first appeared on TV. Hard life lived mainly outdoors isn't kind to skin

[Bobbisox1]

Zac as APG has said Amanda has cleverly brought income to the family with books, tv etc, I’m sure APG said a while ago that they rent Ravenseat rather than own it?

[Zacs-Master]

Quite possibly. It just seems to be departing from it's roots a bit. I'll keep watching as I love the topography of both the setting and Amanda as well ;-)

[Bobbisox1]

Now I was just about to say she must be easy on the eye for ya, haha

[Zacs-Master]

She's a fine woman.
