Description

Since the last book, Clarkson’s enthusiastic schemes for diversification have been met with stubborn opposition from the ‘red trouser bridgade’, and Kaleb and Lisa have had doubts about Jeremy’s plan to build a business empire based on rewilding and nettle soup. Welcome to Jeremy's farm. It's an idyllic spot, offering picturesque views across the Cotswolds, bustling hedgerows, woodlands and natural springs. Jeremy always liked the idea being a farmer. But, while he was barrelling around the world having more fun with cars than was entirely reasonable, it seemed obvious that the actual, you know, farming was much better left to someone else.

Also, when someone thinks it's an enviable knowledge to know this by heart (or even more when someone says cr*p like "I was able to test the new automatic because thankfully I was able to shift gears manually and I'm much better than any automation") this is what makes me simultaneously roll my eyes hard enough to lose balance, laugh so hard so I lose my breath and fall asleep from pure boredom. In short - it's not good for me. He wrote in his Sunday Times column earlier this month: "I've tried farming conventionally and it didn't work. I've tried diversifying and that hasn't really worked either. And I've tried with sheep and pigs and cows and that has been a bit of a disaster as well. So I arrived at a crossroads and was not sure which way to turn. I could sell the farm, but I like having it and for very good reasons. There are no death duties on farmland, so my children like me having it too." However, reportedly according to The Sun, Clarkson has found a “delightful little loophole”, leading him to open the restaurant on another barn on his West Oxfordshire farm. Thereafter, he notified the council of the restaurant opening. Former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has opened his own restaurant on his Oxfordshire farm called the Diddly Squat farm. Faced with suffocating red tape, biblical weather, local objections, a global pandemic and his own frankly staggering ignorance of how to 'do farming', Jeremy soon realises that turning the farm round is going to take more than splashing out on a massive tractor.Having turned his hand to farming three years ago, marmite figure Clarkson has been praised for showing the realities of farming life – whilst finding humour in the challenges and mishaps he faces day to day. Then there are the animals: the sheep are gone; the cows have been joined by a rented bull called Break-Heart Maestro;. the pigs are making piglets; and the goats have turned out to be psychopaths. Pull on your wellies, grab your flat cap and join Jeremy Clarkson in this hilarious and fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the farm we're all obsessed with. So, being utterly and completely uninterested in cars*, I have obviously not a clue of who Jeremy Clarkson is and what makes him famous**

One person asked in the comments section: 'When is season 3 being aired?' with Lisa confirming: "Once they edit!" Another fan enquired: "Hopefully not the penultimate week of the penultimate season," to which Lisa replied: "...nope". Meanwhile, another viewer quizzed: "And season 4??" to which the actress responded with a thumbs-up emoji.An idyllic spot offering picturesque views across the Cotswolds, bustling hedgerows and natural springs, it's the perfect plot of land for someone to delegate the actual, you know, farming to someone else while he galivants around the world in cars. Clarkson has showcased the passion, humour and personalities of the people who work throughout the year to grow the nation's food . . . and brought an understanding of many of the issues faced by farmers to the British public' National Farmers Union Jeremy is tied into running Diddly Squat at least for another year thanks to the work of his land agent "Cheerful" Charlie Ireland, he revealed. The presenter's girlfriend also recently hinted there was at least one more series of Clarkson's Fram in the pipeline as she shared a shot of the show's crew talking to her man. Pull on your wellies, grab your flat cap and join Jeremy Clarkson in this hilarious and fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the farm we're all obsessed with . . .

An idyllic spot offering picturesque views across the Cotswolds, bustling hedgerows and natural springs. Until one day, Jeremy decided he would do the farming itself. As an aside - I surprise myself by having quite a bit of patience with the English version of this humour, but I think it may have to do with the fact that it's not told in the horrible Gothenburg accent. And just to not be too hard on Gothenburg, it needs to be said that I spent most of my mandatory military service there and that probably coloured my perception of it ( not really, seriously, stay away!)It's easier to get planning permission to build a nuclear plant than to turn a barn into a restaurant?
