Lovely freebirth story

There's a rather wonderful series on British TV this advent called Our Yorkshire Farm (four episodes I believe, one for each season) following the year in the life of a family who live in Upper Swaledale in Yorkshire.  In yesterday's 2nd episode (Spring), Amanda Owen tells her story of giving birth to her eighth child (the Owens have nine children) in front of the fire in the middle of the night with one of the dogs and a cup of tea for company.  She explains her how she came to her decision and evokes a sense of place, time, calm and peace.  A lovely, lovely narration and well worth a viewing (UM is fast becoming a Yorkshire Shepherdess addict):
