I thought it was good, very enjoyable.

However, I think it came across as saving the farm to provide a living income, which we all know isn’t going to happen on a 100 acre organic sheep farm. Nothing wrong at all with having a lifestyle farm and looks a great place run by people who know what they’re doing, but friends of ours mentioned it this afternoon and were under the impression it was going to earn them a good living. Plus, as we all know, a few sheep and donkeys isn’t going to justify that new tractor!

Also, I’m not sure Herdwicks and Cheviots are going to be any easier to handle than Hampshire Downs! We’ve certainly found our Hamps to be very docile and obliging.

Anyway, I thought it was good.
Wait.....
They chose Herdwicks for........ease of handling?

He’s certainly tidying up the place, and managing to keep it interesting for viewers at the same time. I’m looking forward to the next stage of restoring the car, wouldn’t be a quick or cheap job!
