Teenager Jo Lawrence has swapped travel and nightlife for getting up at dawn – to run her family’s farm in memory of her dad.
The 19-year-old was about to set off an a gap year to see the world when her dad Bob suddenly died of heart failure on market day at only 50.
Jo, who was then 17, rose early the next morning to check on the animals – and ended up scrapping her planned trip to step into Bob’s boots.
Now she is one of Britain’s youngest farmers, running the 200-acre sheep, beef and arable business with some help from her mum and brothers.
