  • Back In My Special Place

    This was filmed on the same day we were out with Tara Farms at the harvest. An emotional trip back to our own farm. I had been back once since da passed away but it was both nice and strange to actually get a bit of work going over there again. The whole place got…

  • The Week On Wheels – Vlog 2

    The Week On Wheels – Vlog 2

    It’s all about the land this week, great to get out and about in the current exceptional weather. Firstly in my most beloved spot outside of my own as the Clarkes deal with a good looking crop of Winter Oats. Then, in the evening time, it was off out to visit one of my carers,…

    Making tracks – Harvest 2021 Is Away!

    Forget about Christmas, for me days like today are the magical ones in the year – Harvest 2021 is up and running. Out with the Clarke family once again as they tackle 20+ acres of Winter Barley with their new Claas Lexion 670 TerraTrac. On drawing duties were a Deutz Fahr 6210 and a John…

  • We Are Sowing

    A day I have longed for, honestly since we closed up the shed last winter, crop sowing for 2021 has begun. While I was in Rehab yesterday, Susie was busily getting my escape hatch ready for me to get stuck straight into bagging, sowing and fertilising our first crop of Kerr Pinks. It’s not the…

  • Sowing the seeds on the road to God knows where

    While in the vast majority of ways it could be said that the vast majority of the most recent Christmas/New Year period passed off peacefully in these quarters, there was the not-so-small matter of the senior bossman here having an unwanted meeting with – and kicking the ass of – Covid-19. Having something like that…

  • Watch “Every Journey Has To Start Somewhere” on YouTube

    Into the shed for the first time in earnest this year. Starting to give it a good clean up as preparations begin for this year’s farming journey. Wherever it may lead…
