A Shepherds Watch: Through the Seasons with One Man and His Dogs

Charismatic David Kennard lives a life most people can only dream about. Farming on a spectacularly beautiful part of the Devon coast he has an almost telepathic bond with nature and with his working sheepdogs. His is a life filled with daily challenges, from the battles with wild Atlantic weather to the dramas of clifftop rescue, but it is also a life full of the richness of rebirth, and the Herriottesque delight in a rural way of life that has remained almost untouched by the modern world. Part diary, part homage to the countryside and the canine family that is so much a part of his life, David Kennard's extraordinary book is designed to touch the hearts and minds of city and country dwellers alike.

David Kennard farms his 500 strong flock on Morte Point on the North Devon coast. Something of an entrepreneur as well as a farmer, he has appeared in the press and on TV promoting his bestselling video.
