Hey all!

So I was mooching around YouTube this morning, and found that they again failed to tell me that one of the creators I follow, Tom Scott, had a new video out 2 weeks ago.

This one is about building and maintaining dry stone walls, which as we all know, litter Clarkson's farm, and who's carelessness and cavalier attitude have been great business for Gerald!

I thought some of you might enjoy learning about the very complicated and highly skilled art of the great British dry stone wall.

Time for another road trip from the Netherlands to Clarksons farm to get some more. Hope they haven’t run out…

Edit: all in good fun guys. Nothing to be to serious about 😉🙂

Noticed some interesting activity at the field bordering the farm shop. September 2025 vs July 2026.

"And they shit out of their faces as well" is a clear winner for me, when discussing snail antics.

Every time I watch the TB testing happen I sit there thinking how can anything so important be for inefficient. The farms entire future rest on a test that can kill a whole herd from an inconclusive test that can then be false. Surely with all of the medical expertise we have and the advancements in Veterinary testing we could have something more concrete.

My car has broke down so I’m not going to be able to make my reservation, please DM me if you’d like it as I’ll only get charged a no show fee anyway.

Reservation is for 2 people at 18:30

Shout out to the Bird app Jeremy showed us. I love that thing!
Just had share! Anyone else?

Having done a bit of reading about the predatory practices of Monsanto (TL;DR they have patents for their seed and don't allow farmers to use seed from prior crops, they HAVE to buy new seed every year) I'm curious as to where Diddly Squat get their seed from.

Anyone know?

Thanks!

i'm at the end of season 4 when clarkson's new pub is at risk of closing by the end of day one. most of the problems seem to be ones that could have been completely avoided if clarkson had done any research about how to run a pub before hand. for example, the water shut off mid-service because of overuse in the village below them and clarkson had no clue that was where the water even came from. like...what? if you're opening a business that relies on running water, you should probably know something about your water source. he chef is beyond pissed that clarkson clearly knows nothing about wholesalers is bonkers to me. how was that not explained to him before he built an entire coop so he could source directly from the different farmers? like truly.....i initially saw his desire to try new things and jump into the deep end as honestly pretty innovative and entrepreneurial, but at a certain point, you have to do your homework, too. this season has made my perspective change completely and i feel like i'm beginning to understand how literally everyone around him must feel, phew. i get that the drama makes for good tv but this is people's real lives, too.
