Diddly Squat. Pigs might fly
€13.18
Welcome back to Clarkson’s Farm. Since taking the wheel three years ago Jeremy’s had his work cut out. And it’s now clear from hard-won experience that, when it comes to farming, there’s only one golden rule: Whatever you hope will happen, won’t. Enthusiastic and inventive schemes to diversify have met with stubborn opposition from the red trouser brigade, defeat at the hands of Council Planning department, and predictable derision from Kaleb – although, to be fair, even Lisa had doubts about Jeremy’s brilliant plan to build a business empire founded on rewilding and nettle soup. And only Cheerful Charlie’s still smiling about the stifling amount of red tape that’s incoming. But he charges by the hour. But despite the naysayers and (sometimes self-inflicted) setbacks, Jeremy remains irrepressibly optimistic about life at Diddly Squat.

After three years, Jeremy Clarkson has discovered the golden rule of farming:
whatever you hope will happen, won't.
Enthusiastic schemes to diversify face defeat at the hands of the Council Planning department, or derision from Kaleb. Jeremy's plans for a business empire founded on rewilding and nettle soup are doubted by Lisa. And the stifling thickets of red tape keep only one person smiling - Cheerful Charlie, who charges by the hour.
But the animals couldn't be happier. A rented bull called Break-Heart Maestro is delighting the cows. The pigs are bringing home the bacon. And the goats are . . . most probably psychopaths.
Yet on the good days it hard not to be optimistic.
Where else do you get to harvest blackberries with a vacuum cleaner?
Maybe it's not just Break-heart Maestro who gets a happy ending?
