Raining Sideways: A Devonshire Diary of Food and Farming

A charming story of food, farming and friendship.

When Sally Vincent left London for a quiet valley in Devon, she and her husband took on more than a farmhouse renovation...

Raining Sideways is Sally's heart-warming journey from the home counties to fully-fledged Devonshire farmer. From her Whiteface Dartmoor sheep, rare breed pigs and Araucana chickens to her beloved donkeys and Dexter cows, Sally embraces the farm and all its delightful inhabitants.

Whilst battling extreme renovation, violent weather and near-vertical hills, there are also the challenges of modern food distribution and its impact on the business. But as she faces the turbulence of the outside world, Sally turns to her garden for solace, finding light and happiness in nature, animals and her surroundings.

Packed with delicious traditional recipes, comforting tales and old culinary traditions, Raining Sideways is a celebration of the outdoors, food and farming and the magic to be found in a country life.

AUTHOR:
Sally Vincent trained at Winkfield Place Cordon Bleu Cookery School, later cooking in London restaurants. She went on to study Jewellery & Enamelling at the Berkshire College of Art and had workshops both in London and South Devon. She then studied Psychotherapy at Plymouth University combining counselling and training and with farming. It was spring 2004 when her son emailed from Japan: 'Why not write a blog about your real life on the farm: rain, mud, dark cold winter mornings, lambing in the middle of the night, sick animals and the joy of spring'? Thus 'Raining Sideways' was born! This is her first book.
