BORN in South Shields, Moira had her first taste of country life when her parents moved to Mirfield in Yorkshire where her best friends were animals – Judy the dog, hens and the cows in a neighbouring field.
Returning to Tyneside Moira began a career in nursing, married twice, had four sons and set up a charity – Tyneside Cyrenians – to provide a nightly soup run and shelter for homeless men.
Giving up a successful business in the city, Moira bought a smallholding and so began her Good Life years. Sadly the Foot & Mouth epidemic hit the country soon afterwards and this book is the inspirational story of how Moira battled against the system and saved her sheep.
