scrulious rumours
Good - I’m pleased if it’s just rumours. I‘m full of admiration for both of them for their work ethic and the way that they bring up those super children.
Bloody tabloid press who work on the principle of ‘Why let the truth get in the way of a good story?’ My family was a victim of them some years ago when we lost a grandson in tragic circumstances.

I think they are a cracking advertisement for farming in general.
The relationship they have with their children seems second to none and Clive just seems to have a real nice way about him.
Only know them from the tv but I would be saddened if anything broke that lovely family up.
for fecks sake , its edited you know . nothings milk and honey.

I think we would all 33k per episode for the cameraman to follow you around wheather it was dealing with a roll up smoking lord or horsey women getting hay from you

To bring up 9 fit healthy children on any farm is some achievement ,what they have done is something to be proud of farming needs real people to show the realities of hard work and we should thank them for all they have done .
Plenty of Irish farms with broods of 6-10/11 children growing up in the 1980’s and 90’s
I reckon there’s a few still with 6-7 kids in the family nowadays
9 might be uncommon in England-but not in other countries

Who’s number 1 son? Thought Reuben was the oldest?
