The Accidental Farmwife

In 2007, Diana Leeson married university professor Jim Fisher. As they did not live together before marriage, the fact that he was also a farmer seemed to have slipped her mind. She woke up on the farm after her wedding, to the sound of a donkey braying. Suddenly she realized she was a farmer’s wife.

As she made herself at home on the farm, she got to know the animals and their unique personalities. She would tell the Farmer their stories over dinner each night. Soon she realized she had another column in the making, and “The Accidental Farmwife” was born.

This book is a compilation of some of Diana’s favourite columns over the first seven years.
