Amanda Owen: Shepherdess Shares “Chaotic” Mother’s Day Amidst Yorkshire Dales Life
Amanda Owen, the celebrated shepherdess and mother of nine, has offered a glimpse into the demanding realities of life in the scenic Yorkshire Dales. Despite the idyllic perception, Owen described her recent Mother’s Day as “chaotic and disorderly,” revealed in a social media post featuring her daughters serving her breakfast in bed.
Reality Behind the Ravenseat Farm Image
Often envisioned as living a perfect existence at remote Ravenseat Farm, the setting of her family’s popular television show, ‘Our Farm Next Door,’ Amanda Owen has suggested that her life as a mother of a large family is more intricate than depicted on screen. In a candid post, she wrote, “A perfect Mothers Day for an imperfect mother,” prompting an outpouring of support from her online followers.
Fan Support and Praise
Her 533,000 followers quickly rallied to her defense, commending the 50-year-old television personality, who separated from her husband Clive Owen, 70, in 2022. Comments included:
- “There is no such thing as being a perfect mum but I’d say your pretty close Amanda and have been an inspiration to so many. Happy Mother’s Day.”
- “Less of the imperfect mother……..so many kids would benefit from being raised by you in those surroundings. Happy Mother’s Day Amanda, I just know your kids spoilt you in their own unique ways.”
- “Are you joking? The patience you have and the way u speak to them is beautiful…why they have all turned out as they have…because they have wonderful parents x.”
Continuing Cottage Renovation Project
In recent times, Amanda Owen has been engaged in the renovation of a dilapidated cottage near their farm. This property was acquired with Clive prior to their publicized separation.
Joint Project Post-Split
The couple, who were married for 22 years, had initiated plans to refurbish the Grade II listed building back in 2020. Notwithstanding their separation, Amanda and Clive Owen continue to collaborate, co-parenting their children and working on the farmhouse renovation, known locally as Anty Johns. Their ongoing efforts are documented in ‘Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids‘.
Slow and Steady Progress
Progress on the property has been gradual over the past five years since the project commenced. However, fans remain updated through ‘Our Farm Next Door‘ and Amanda’s active presence on Instagram, where she shares insights into her life and work.
