She explains the processes involved to bring our food from the land to our plates.Of course the countryside has much more to offer and Janette looks at the wildlife and plants that surrounds us when we leave the cities behind, helping you to observe the beauty of nature.There are also fun activities that you can enjoy when out in the country, including Janette’s true passion, horse-riding.Join Janette as she takes you on a journey Exploring the Countryside.£11.99 (+ UK postage)

Good Girl, Sesky
A horse is the perfect combination of beauty, grace and power. For me, Janette Mckeague, Sesky was so much more than that, she was a friend.In this book I tell the story of our time together. The joy of competing in cross country, show jumping and a little dressage; the birth of Sesky’s foals as my own family grew; the pleasure of riding across the countryside enjoying the beauty and companionship of a true friend; and finally Sesky’s passing aged thirty-two.This is a book that will appeal not only to those who love horses but those that love a story of a friendship that abided through the years.As an added bonus there is a section on looking after your own horse or pony.Signed paperback: £15.69 (+ UK postage)

Ireland Trip, August 2022
20/12/2022
The dream holiday to visit Sesky's homeland in Seskinore, Ireland came true this year.When my book went on a journey 520-odd miles were covered around this amazing beautiful place, and some great people were met during my stay – including the Seskinore Harriers branch of the pony club, who I longed to meet.Our meeting at the amazing Ash Hollow Equestrian facilities, allowed me to watch the incredible children, and their ponies and horses, practise in their rally around this beautiful facility.I could not visit Ireland without a ride on the beach – thanks to Donegal Equestrian centre for such a super day out on the sand dunes and beach ride and my super guide rides. Treacle the horse was just perfect.Thank you to all for making my special journey one to remember, and sharing my book with me, and to the ones who bought the book, it was fun signing it for you. The Omagh Library was a fun meeting, and the book was signed once again. Looking forward to another visit to Ireland.Click on an image for a bigger version
