WeCan Talk with Young Farmers
Episode 37: Vita author of Moor Life
Vita's passion for animals and the countryside led her to a life that combined her love of art, horses and farming on Exmoor. She talks about the importance of the issues raised in her book that seeks to challenges assumptions made by people outside of working the land and explores the day to day experience of making a living against a back drop of the demands of the environment and the economy, whilst finding pleasure in the natural world and the communities who populate it. We hear about her childhood, her work on bridleways, hosting a flying flock in a time of drought and the experiences that have influenced her. We also get some good advice for house builders. Vita reveals the unexpected outcomes of publishing your first novel in your 80s. The novel is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/MOOR-LIFE-Exmoor-Vita-Haddon/dp/B0GX7Q57YC/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2JJ775ZFR8A9W&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.7GNWPK0QcoEV-jqCANMkyzcTKDYc21L8RIa7FUEeMpkjHS131TPuValuCTK01A99DTbvdltRrenVdEedhhgNcQesniYOKlmVwsCjF6ZMAc7O6GelMlroulS1ZTyIYivDGz79sFSW_UHxcDBs-nORjOk6O1WwaMIz5C0ihn2B3o2UjvIrftg2-Nmo5UFUYkTB7IOOzTnhQ3OABCnLgi9Qc8X3p2Fxyid6rc9lg_pJ5z8.MP67PEMedJn4pcLc-3pZB1a6OHWcQot13o48ggJK1M4&dib_tag=se&keywords=moor+life&qid=1784056759&sprefix=moor+life%2Caps%2C561&sr=8-1 Fancy being the next interviewee or know someone with a story to tell?
