Jackie Moffat is a Londoner, born and bred, but in 1982 moved to the Eden Valley in Cumbria, where she still lives and farms. As well as breeding Manx Loghtans (a rare breed of sheep, originating from the Isle of Man), she also writes a column for Cumbria and Lake District Life magazine.
Television's Tom and Barbara Good have much to answer for since they dumped the glamour and high salaries of city life in favour of self-sufficiency (and a pig). Two other hopefuls: Malcolm and Jackie Moffat, followed their lead for real in 1982, moving to Cumbria, one of England's most beautiful areas. Jackie, for good reasons, does most of the donkey work, but still finds time to write a regular feature for the local newspaper, describing, graphically, and humorously, the ups-and-downs of life on the land. For her, animals are not just dumb creatures, but real friends, which tested her emotions to extremes during the recent Foot and Mouth epidemic, which plunged even townies into horrified gloom, and filled the countryside with acrid smoke from the burning pyres of once-healthy animals. This section apart, the story is written lightheartedly, and is often very funny - recommended especially to those contemplating The Good Life, as both warning, and encouragement. (Kirkus UK)
