I don’t feel envious of other peoples lives very often but I found myself feeling that way today. A customer of mine, Victoria, who recently bought a cat cave from me, mentioned I should check out this woman referred to as The Barefoot Shepherdess. I went on youtube and found myself immediately enchanted and captivated by this woman and her traditional farm in the Yorkshire Dales of England.
She is famous for her barefoot walking tours and fashionable wool tweed ensembles and has gotten quite a lot of press from the BBC and other media outlets. I, of course, am more drawn to her gorgeous farm and sheep work. I like her aesthetic style but think I’ll stick with my tee shirt and jeans with coordinated muck boots!
I do not have the kind of space or soft green hills that she does so I wouldn’t dream of walking my rocky homestead barefoot. But it does look like a heavenly way to look after the flock, check fence lines and look over the lush hillsides.
