If the word "shepherdess" conjures up images of Little Bo-Peep then where Amanda Owen is concerned you'll have to think again.

Amanda has a new book out - A Year In The Life Of A Yorkshire Shepherdess - which takes you stage by stage through the seasons at her Dales farm. 

Amanda's not from farming stock and moved to North Yorkshire to follow a dream - and she now shares that dream with husband Clive, nine children and around 1,000 sheep.

I spoke to her recently and asked her when she got time to write:

He was made a Freeman of the City of Bradford. 

Morrisons opened its first town centre shop in 1958 and first supermarket in 1961, both in Bradford.

Things are getting back to normal on services to London on the East Coast Main Line after problems earlier today at Retford:

Sir Ken Morrison, the man who was at the helm of the Bradford-based supermarket chain which bears his name, has died at the age of 85.

Sir Ken helped grow supermarket Morrisons from a small grocery chain into one of the UK's largest retailers until he retired in 2008.

He died peacefully at his home in North Yorkshire, his family said in a statement.

Sir Ken was well known for being forthright in his views, so here are five of his best quotes (which we can publish):

• When asked the secret of running a good supermarket, he once replied: "It's just taking money off people. And giving them something in return."

• "I had no formal education for anything," he once said. "I learned my craft at the dining room table with my dad talking about things."

• He had no truck with management consultants: "If you don't know how to run your own business, it's time to give up, isn't it?"

• "Southern shoppers like to think they are sophisticated, don't they? But they're not. There's not so much difference down there. They say poor people need a bargain. Wealthy people appreciate one."
• Asked about his wife's reaction to the news he was launching a surprise bid for Safeway, he said: "Strangely enough, I didn't tell my wife at the beginning. What did she say when I did tell her? She said nothing, she said: 'Your tea's ready'."
