Our Yorkshire Farm

Sadly it seems their marriage is in some difficulty and they are living apart. Don't know how serious it is or even if it's true.

If you don't know this gossip's provenance, why are you repeating it?

Oh no sodapop I hope not Amanda is doing a lot of personal appearances and a tour. She did a photoshoot for The Times Magazine I think it was. She was looking fabulous.

Growing lamb for meat is what the farm is for!

Plus some beef now I think as well.

send their young healthy sheep off to slaughter without a thought

It is very much with thought: the lambs are grown as food for people, as has happened throughout human history since the start of farming.

That is sad. Let us hope the children can maintain some continuity in their lives.

It was lovely glamma What a lovely dad Clive is.

I do hope some of you saw last nights episode of the endearing scene's between Clive Owen & young Sidney ? They where out on a hillside and Sidney had found the entrance to an old mine shaft during one of his days of adventure on the vast surrounding to the Farm I found it so touching the genuine interest he has in his son's findings and to how it relates to his own childhood,if you haven't watched it yet it is certainly well worth a watch,just have the hankies at the ready

Hetty58 I’m with you on this. I don’t like the sentimentalising of farming. I find it strange that they can mourn a much loved pony who has had a long life and a natural death, but send their young healthy sheep off to slaughter without a thought. It’s a mindset I just don’t get.

I feel the dad does not get enough of the praise he is a great dad. Those who say they never see the children argue or fight that is down to editing of course . No children are so good all the time .

The best programme on TV. Its family life at its best everyone mucks in and all show kindness to one another including creatures great and small.

Such a lovely programme last night watching the little ones saying goodbye to Little Joe was so touching.
Sidney with his dog after his training and bonding with him was heart warming they will be best friends for many years to come,can't wait for the arrival of the puppies next week.

I love this programme, what a fabulous family. All the children learn how to look after the animals properly and understand life and death, they have values. I think all children should have this sort of life instead of being stuck in front of screens with the latest ‘wants’. In reality I know they can’t. I wish my DM could have seen it, she would have loved it.

Hetty 58. What suffering. The farm animals are well looked after, I am from a farming family and there is no suffering that I can see.

They seem devoted the their animals to me and go to huge lengths to ensure their safety and wellbeing. Am I missing something?

It must be just me, then, who's watched - but found it all rather twee and sickly. The suffering of those poor farm animals puts me off. Still, the income from all the TV stuff must be welcome.

Delightful and heartwarming,one of the few programs I actually smile at whilst watching…?

I so enjoy this show. What a loving family they are. The landscape and wildlife are wonderful and their home so cosy. For me Clive is the star, such a gentle man. I love seeing him with the children who all adore him. He and Sidney seem like peas in a pod.

A delightful programme, I love it! The children are so happy and carry out their various responsibilities with enthusiasm. The bit where Ananda and the children were at the pond with the frogs was memorable. I am sure that off camera the children have their squabbles! Absolute joy to witness their extraordinary life and and to see the beauty of Yorkshire.

So sad that the pony died of old age ?heart attack. Amanda was brilliant as she usually is with the children teaching them about his death and letting them stroke him and say goodbye.

The new series started last Tuesday. Filmed during the winter.
I absolutely love this programme. What wonderful memories they'll have when they get older.

They are such a delight this really is reality tv as it should be. Proper genuine, sincere, happy, down to earth, real people.

Little Joe

The football was on! Hopefully it will be repeated at the weekend.

Loved tonight's episode, the children are delightful. Especially loved hearing the little girls discussing the buildi g of a 'yam hospipoo' lol

I never see the children argue, or cry, or refuse to do any job and the best thing is they are not glued to their IPads. I wish my lovely grandchildren could have a week on the farm and emulate that lifestyle. Finally they all eat the same food ?
