Diddly Squat: A Year on the Farm

Meer over het boek

Pull on your wellies and grab your flat cap as you join Jeremy Clarkson in a hilarious and fascinating behind-the-scenes look at his farming venture. Set in the picturesque Cotswolds, Clarkson's farm offers stunning views and the perfect landscape for someone to delegate farming tasks. However, Jeremy decides to take on the challenge himself, believing it can't be that hard. Faced with overwhelming red tape, unpredictable weather, local objections, a global pandemic, and his own lack of farming knowledge, he quickly realizes that transforming the farm will require more than just investing in a massive tractor. Fortunately, he has a dedicated team to help, including his girlfriend Lisa, Kaleb the Tractor Driver, Cheerful Charlie, Ellen the Shepherd, and Gerald, his Head of Security. Together, they enthusiastically cultivate crops, rear livestock, keep bees, bottle spring water, and even open a farm shop. Despite their efforts, profits remain elusive. Yet, as Jeremy navigates this journey, he discovers that the farm, humorously named Diddly Squat, holds far greater value for him than mere financial gain. Praise for this venture has been overwhelmingly positive, with critics noting its charm and surprising depth, making it a must-read for fans and skeptics alike.
