Amanda Owen and her ex-husband Clive Owen appear to be putting their differences aside for the sake of their mammoth renovation work at their Ravenseat Farm in Yorkshire, which Amanda has branded a "huge undertaking".
The TV personality, also known as the Yorkshire Shepherdess, took to her social media to share a series of photos of her family, including her former partner, and shared a heartfelt thanks to those who had been instrumental in making their dream renovation a reality.
Amanda and co. have been working tirelessly on a derelict farmhouse, Anty John's, which is just a stone's throw away from their family home, Ravenseat, in the Yorkshire Dales.

"I can't tell you how much their specialist skills, expertise and knowledge are valued. Their enthusiasm and tenacity to keep going whatever problems and issues are thrown at them and to be part of what has to be the loosest of plans."

"Also to put yourself in the spotlight and under scrutiny is not something to be taken lightly. But yet they have. This whole project could not have happened without them."

Safe to say fans and followers of Amanda's social media page were more than impressed. One person summed up the general view beautifully: "Couldn't have a more genuine, down to earth team. From where you all started you can see how much hard work & determination has gone into it.
"Massive respect to all you guys. Big party needed when it’s finally done."

Anty John's has been a labour of love for the pair who, despite splitting in 2023, have continued to co-parent their nine children and co-run Ravenseat as a team.
The next step in the renovation journey will be shown during season two of the show which premiered last week. Not only are Clive and Amanda and their team of hardworking professionals taking on the mammoth job, but they're also encouraging their children to do what they can.

"My son Sidney (12) is absolutely hellbent on being a farmer. Miles (16) too, he loves his farming. I just want to be able to facilitate that. [But] I'm not going, 'Here's your farm, get on with it', because that's no lesson learned whatsoever."
