The lonely shepherdess (Part 2)

Hopefully the nations favourite lonely shepherdess (can you name one other?) is on the mend following her calamitous media incident quad bike accident and can soon get back to what she's best known for.
Book promotion.
As mentioned previously the press took our little Bo Peep to heart and teased us with heart tugging nuggets such as “I would like someone to share my life ..." and "..all I really want is a companion to snuggle up to during the long, cold nights".

Even her book is being touted on Amazon as "A wonderfully romantic memoir"

The sheep love to hear Emma read from her book.

Strange though that the truth isn't quite so rosy and Emma appears quite adept at turning her back on the wrong kind of attention i.e anyone who isn't in the publishing world.
In fact she "does not reply to letters, smiles pleasantly at overtures in the street and has no wish to encourage anyone right now."
Come come Lass, that's no way to find yourself a fruity farmland fellow !

It's all a bit different from the story that was fed to newspaper readers back in April.

"As cupid’s arrow shoots through the blackest of night skies over Emma’s beautiful, albeit rundown and ill-equipped farmhouse, her dream of finding a soulmate to share her growing flock of sheep with, finally looks set to come true.

In a ‘will-she, won’t she’ find the man of dreams dilemma, Emma’s emotional tug-of-war tale is truly unique and uplifting."

PHEW !! It all sounds like a bit of a Bodice Ripper, eh folks?!?

I do hope there wasn't a more mundane hum drum reason why she chose to live out there in the sticks.You know, like basically needing some place to live.
Naaahhhh....
Shame on me for even daring to think it.
In fact, let's hear from the the vixen of the valleys herself for reassurance.

Oh ......

Now we all know that it's a lady's prerogative to change her mind but in these modern times it can be a bit embarrassing to have your volt-face so clearly on display.
"Show us an example!"  I hear you cry.
Okily dokily.

Back in October 2010 she was quite happy to compare herself to another lonely farm owner by the name of Hannah Hauxwell as she stated to Journallive; “I am worried I am so independent I am going to end up like Hannah Hauxwell...."

Frolic through the sands of time a mere 18 months and, with the publishing of her book which details what an independent woman of the noughties she is, it would appear she's conveniently forgotten her previous statement and instead now "....rejects comparison with legendary Hannah Hauxwell".

My oh my, what those young ladies have to go through just to flog their books eh...

Anyhoo, enough of this shameless self promotion.
Let's get back to the serious business of sheep rearing (which is what Emma proclaims is her true love).

Cheery Bye .....
