Diddly Squat: Home to Roost

It's been another memorable year on Diddly Squat Farm - will the chickens finally come home to roost?Welcome back to Clarkson s Farm . . .Where the spring barley crop has failed. Just like the oil seed rape. And the oats turned the colour of a hearing aid. The mushrooms went mouldy. While the sheep, pigs and cows cost more than they earned. At least, the farm shop s doing a roaring trade in candles even if they smell like Jeremy s knacker hammock.So never mind the rain, the skirmishes with the local planning department and the gargantuan hole in Jeremy s wallet. Because it s hard to feel too gloomy about life when there s a JCB telehandler, a crop-spraying hovercraft and a digger waiting in the barn.For any man with several metric tons of powerful machinery at his fingertips must be doing something right . . .Number 1 Sunday Times bestseller, October 2024
