08:45Ha!
08:47Ha!
08:49Ha!
08:51Ha!
08:53We did it!
08:55Yay!
08:57If only I could tell them they were going out on fresh pasture.
09:01The sub was shiny.
09:03They're a lot easier.
09:07With the trailer loaded up,
09:09I take the lambs and ewes up to the top field
09:11to join the rest of the flock
09:13while Liz and the twins take a more leisurely stroll
09:15in the sunshine.
09:17Here,
09:19the new mums can enjoy some fresh grass
09:21and the views
09:23are not half bad either.
09:35Go!
09:37Go!
09:39You do it.
09:41Come on then.
09:43Right, we're going to let these out, okay?
09:45What we're going to do is get the lambs out first
09:47and when I pass you a lamb
09:49I want you to take it to the back of the trailer.
09:53So go on.
09:55Take that lamb, hold it properly, strong boy
09:57and put it down over there.
09:59Go on.
10:01What are coming there?
10:03With a little encouragement,
10:05Maximus gets stuck in
10:07and the rest of the flock come over to check out
10:09the new kids on the block.
10:11Good boy!
10:13Do you want me to help you?
10:15Come on big lad!
10:17Come on Max, me and you do it together.
10:19Hey!
10:21There you go.
10:23Come on.
10:25Oh, come on.
10:29This is my favourite moment, seeing the lambs
10:31and the sheep being put out in the field.
10:33This is where they'll thrive now
10:35and literally within a few weeks
10:37the lambs will grow so quickly
10:39and they become so cheeky
10:41and they'll be bouncing around
10:43and jumping around
10:44and yeah, it's just beautiful to see.
10:47It's a big reward this.
10:48This is, you know,
10:49months and months of planning
10:52and preparation.
10:55I wish I could stay here
10:57just gazing into your vest
11:00but no, I'll get back to the sheds.
11:02More work to do.
11:03Can I drive?
11:05When you get bigger, you can drive it.
11:07No, can I drive?
11:09When you get bigger.
11:10Come on boys, we've got more work to do.
11:12Shall we go and get some more sheep?
11:14Shall we go and get some more lambs?
11:16Yeah, come on then.
11:18With a new farming year well and truly underway,
11:24Liz and I are keen to take stock
11:26of how we're using our lambs.
11:28Our 120 acres straddles East Cheshire
11:38and the edge of the Peak District National Park.
11:40A large swathe of our land is a mix
11:42of ancient and modern woodlands,
11:44leaving us about 80 acres that we can farm.
11:46So, with plans to expand our flock and herd,
11:48this year every field is being given a new role to play
11:52in order to help us achieve that.
11:54What I do love about the farm is it's adapted,
11:56it's worked for the previous owner the way they wanted it
11:58and now we're trying to put our mark on it
12:00and change the farm to what we need.
12:02and I love that.
12:03That will be history one day and it will just keep evolving.
12:06We are custodians of it for now
12:10and what we do now will be something
12:12maybe completely different to what we've done to it in a hundred years.
12:15So now we're trying to put our mark on it
12:18and change the farm to what we need
12:20and I love that, that will be history one day
12:22and it will just keep evolving.
12:24We are custodians of it for now
12:26and what we do now will be something
12:28maybe completely different from what it's done to it
12:30100 yıl sonra.

13:02and we can keep our eye on them while they find some fun
13:05and we actually get a job done.

13:28Oh my god.
13:28So if you put all these together and then create a baton underneath,
13:33yeah, you could create a really nice bench.
13:35Bench.
13:36That's my daddy's side, that, not mine.
13:39This is the good trip. This is the good stuff.
13:43Kelvin now is well into it.
13:46Look at you now, loving it.
13:47Good idea now, isn't it? Now I've thought about it.
13:50I thought it was ridiculous when you first said it.
13:52Are we getting this? Because Kelvin said I've had great ideas several times now
13:56and this never happens.
13:59The trick with Kelvin is let him think your idea was his idea
14:01and then everyone's happy.
14:05Joking aside, Liz does have a great eye for this stuff
14:08and after making a real success of getting blankets made
14:11from last year's discarded wool,
14:13who knows what this pile of wood will end up being.
14:19Upcycling is something that I've come to love since living here, really.
14:23just, I've always loved decorating and interiors
14:27and then with the farm, having all this kind of left,
14:32there's always something left over or something you can repaint.
14:36It is so enjoyable, very therapeutic, very relaxing to do.
14:42Probably the main reason why I like it.
14:44So I've just pulled that up from the ground.
14:46I was just about to throw that away, but Liz said we could use that.
14:49We could have a little message there.
14:50These wooden tables that you're sat on
14:53were actually made from the old fence posts on our farm.
14:57Yeah.
14:57Enjoy.
14:58It's probably got woodworm, enjoy.
15:02P.S. Sorry about the woodworm.
15:04Get to the chemist.
15:06I hate to say, it's probably another good idea of us.
15:09We could have actually used that as a plaque.
15:12While we sort, salvage and get creative,
15:15the twins are just loving every minute of their life
15:18in the great outdoors.
15:20Oh, a frog.
15:22A frog?
15:23Shall we get him out?
15:24Say hello to him.
15:25Hello, froggy.
15:26Hello.
15:27Oh.
15:30Right, who wants him in his hands?
15:32Me.
15:33Right, open your hands.
15:34Right, get ready.
15:37He's going to scream.
15:39Come on.
15:39Right, Matthias, you.
15:45I reckon you're braver.
15:47Come here.
15:47Open your hands.
15:48Put your hands together like that.
15:49Put your hands together like a cup.
15:51And wait, wait, wait, wait.
15:52There we go.
15:53Hold it.
15:56He's getting dirty.
15:58He's calm.
15:59He's chilled, man.
16:00He's chilled.
16:01Now, let's put him back in his house.
16:03Oil, laddie.
16:04Oil.
16:04Put him back in his house.
16:06Put him in his house and I'll cover it again.
16:09There we go.
16:10Frog safe and wood salvaged.
16:14A job that we've waited a year to do turned out to be finding frogs.
16:20Finding good pieces of wood that we can make things with.
16:24Lots of adventures.
16:26Isn't it?
16:27It's been a great afternoon.
16:29It's been great.
16:31Come on, monkeys.
16:33My little apprentices.
16:35You're good helpers, you two, aren't you?
16:40You and me, Walt.
16:42Yes, sir.
16:44Yes, sir.
16:45Three bags.
16:46Four.
16:47Frogs, insects, birds and bugs provide a world of entertainment for the kids on the farm.
17:08Oh, I've got two at the same time.
17:11And with a freedom to explore, they don't have to travel far to find a new creature to play with.
17:19But the farm animals come first.
17:21And it's not just the cows and sheep that demand the kids' attention.
17:25Four of our most prized farm assets also happen to be our sassies.
17:30Our leghorn chickens.
17:32True free-range divas.
17:34They treat the whole farm like their runway, turning egg collection into a daily game of hide-and-seek for Marnie.
17:42You need to make sure if you drop an egg, try not to drop it in front of a chicken.
17:48Since arriving on the farm, the chickens have abandoned their coop and seen content laying, well, just about anywhere, including an old kennel.
17:58It's really exciting doing the earring eggs because it's like when you're finding something, like, on the egg hunt, but you're finding real eggs and you're not finding, like, fake plastic eggs.
18:13You don't want to eat it when it's cracked.
18:15Things might have weed in there or they might have, like, ants might have got in there and it's like, and you can see this furry bit here.
18:23And it's just all nasty and you just don't want to eat it.
18:26That's the egg that you want.
18:28While Marnie keeps hunting, Liz has hatched a plan to keep our feathered friends in line and maybe even expand the flock while she's at it.
18:37So, I found this little website that is, like, a Lonely Hearts with cocklels.
18:45Like a cock dating site?
18:47Not so much dating, but, well, you can imagine if these farms, if when they are having their chicks laid and they're all cockerels, they don't want a load of cockerels on the farm, do they?
18:58So, what they do is they put them on here.
19:01Lonely Hearts Club for cockerels.
19:04OK.
19:05I mean, he's so cute.
19:07Just want a good-looking one.
19:08But I like him.
19:08He looks strong, doesn't he?
19:09Yeah.
19:10Manchester, nine months old.
19:12He looks good, him.
19:13He's a good-looking cock.
19:15The things you can laugh at in farming, eh?
19:21This is what it would have been like if, when we met, dating apps were a thing.
19:26What about my picture?
19:28I can't help you in that department.
19:30I'd have this to show someone, eh?
19:32This could be a good profile picture.
19:34You know, just on the back of a Land Rover, I'm up, take a picture.
19:38This would be my profile picture.
19:40I'd look well, wouldn't I?
19:41Shall I take it?
19:42Just take it.
19:42Just in case the day ever comes that you need it.
19:45Just take it.
19:48While I'm used about dating apps for farmers, Liz's new mission is to find the very best
19:53eligible bachelor to help our free-range ladies come home to roost.
19:58So I'm going to go through these and see who's getting swipes left and who's getting swipes
20:03right.
20:04Yeah.
20:04Good.
20:04I like him.
20:05He's a good-looker, isn't he?
20:07And just check that he can do...he can deliver.
20:10We don't just want a cockerel in our house making a load of noise and not actually giving
20:15us chicks.
20:16Yeah.
20:16Just make sure that he's got the minerals.
20:19So you're going to literally bring a cockerel back.
20:20He's going to keep them all in check.
20:22Yeah.
20:22They'll start laying in the same place consistently and hopefully he'll serve them and we'll have
20:27little chicks on the forward too.
20:29Yeah.
20:30And we'll get a cockerel loop in the mornings.
20:32Yeah.
20:32So instead of you setting your alarm at six o'clock and you don't wake up but everybody
20:35else does, the cockerel will wake you up.
20:38Whether I like it or not.
20:40Exactly.
20:41I'll leave you hugging that tyre, working on your poses.
20:47I think I've just unwittingly agreed to a new early morning alarm clock and more chickens.
20:54As for Marnie, her morning egg hunt could be about to get a whole lot easier.
20:58Our biggest venture this year is growing our first crop of oats and inspecting it is becoming
21:10my new favourite obsession.
21:12But I'm not the only one keeping an eye on the new shoots.
21:15I've never seen crows around here and suddenly they've just appeared and from what I've been
21:21told they can be quite destructive really.
21:23We've got some makeshift scarecrows and just stuck them on randomly in the field to try and
21:28to keep the crows away.
21:30Crows aren't the only problem for our freshly sown oats.
21:33It's been the driest start to spring in over a century and I'm worried that could spell
21:39disaster for our first crop.
21:41It's been a couple of weeks now since we ploughed and sowed the seed.
21:47To me, it doesn't look great but I don't really know what I'm looking for but it just
21:51seems to have lost its blackness.
21:53It's kind of, it just seems to be getting a bit grey and a bit, I don't know, I'm just
21:59not feeling too optimistic.
22:01I just don't feel like it looks as good or as healthy as I was hoping.
22:06But then again, what do I know?
22:08Luckily, I do know a man who does know.
22:11Ben is an agronomist, a soil expert who's been working with us for the last couple of
22:15years to help make the land more fertile.
22:17How are you, Ben?
22:18How are you doing?
22:19What do you think of my scarecrows?
22:20They're not bad, to be fair.
22:23I was really proud of them.
22:24Yeah, they're not.
22:25The thing is, I don't think they are doing a job because every morning they're just full
22:27of crows.
22:28What are they eating?
22:29They'll be eating, well, that's the thing, they could be eating the worms but they could
22:32also be eating the crop.
22:34If they're eating the seed, you'll see them just going down the row.
22:38Right, okay.
22:39So if there's any missing rows, we'll know.
22:41We'll know.
22:41That's what it was.
22:43Right, Ben, should we have a wander in?
22:45Yeah, let's have a look.
22:46Feet.
22:47Feet on.
22:48Yes.
22:48Yeah, you won't damage it.
22:50It's not that precious.
22:52Was that a chute?
22:55Yes, that is a chute.
22:57That's oats.
22:57Yeah, there you go.
22:58You could be an agronomist now.
23:02There we go.
23:03That's the seed.
23:04So it's all here, actually, when you start looking.
23:06So it is there.
23:07It's all here.
23:09So is that good?
23:09That's good.
23:10Yay.
23:11Look at that.
23:11It's all here as well.
23:14Oh, wow.
23:14So it's starting to germinate already.
23:16Yeah.
23:16So there's the root.
23:18There's the root, yeah.
23:18Can you hear like I know what I'm talking about?
23:20So from the actual seed, it grows two ways.
23:23It kind of establishes a root, and then the plant bit grows up.
23:28They have very fibrous roots, so it means that there's a greater surface area of the roots.
23:32They're very thin, but they have a lot of them.
23:35So they grow out, so it means they can stand the wet conditions better.
23:38With signs of growth, I'm feeling a little more confident about our first crop, but Ben is
23:45on the hunt for any other threats to the seedlings.
23:49Ah, look at that.
23:51Is that a leather jacket?
23:52What's a leather jacket?
23:53A leather jacket is like a little grub, and they come in like rings in the field, and you'll
24:03find there are bare patches in the field where they have just mauled and eaten the seed.
24:10There.
24:11There's a leather jacket.
24:12Oh, no.
24:12That is a leather jacket.
24:16Is that not good?
24:17They're the larvae of the crane fly, the daddy long legs, and they'll eat the root system
24:23of your grass, but also now your oats.
24:27But, yeah, these can be quite a problem.
24:30This will decimate the crop, potentially.
24:33They really can be devastating, but generally speaking, they're in circles across the field.
24:38Ben won't know the extent of the leather jacket invasion until the crop is more established
24:42If gaps or rings start appearing across the field, it's usually an indicator the pests
24:48have taken hold, but for now, we just have to hope the numbers are low.
24:53But the good news is, the oat seeds have taken, and the first signs of life are good.
24:58Within, like, a month, there'll be 100% ground cover.
25:02You won't be able to see any soil.
25:03Oh, really?
25:03Yeah.
25:04And it'll be a bright green?
25:05Yeah.
25:05And then going forward now, is it just a case of you monitoring this?
25:08Yeah, I'll come back in a week, and we'll see where it's up to, and then I'll come back
25:11in a week.
25:11Yes, OK.
25:12In an ideal world, what would we like to see next week?
25:15What would it look like?
25:16I would hope to see it all up in row.
25:18Yeah, and maintaining the whole thing is more complicated than I think a lot of people realise.
25:23Yeah, and it's just fascinating.
25:25It's a baby.
25:26It is.
25:27It's a baby, and we'll need to just make sure it's...
25:29It's literally the same thing, yeah.
25:30OK.
25:30We need some...
25:31Two dads?
25:32Yeah.
25:32Are we the two dads?
25:34Two dads.
25:34Our little babies?
25:35Yeah, yeah.
25:36Cool, right.
25:37Well, we'll check in on our kids next week.
25:40Yeah.
25:40On the babies?
25:41Yeah.
25:41Hopefully they'll be toddlers by then.
25:43Baby.
25:44They might still be babies, to be honest.
25:45It's now a waiting game to see if the crops take hold.
25:52In the meantime, I need to think about upgrading my scarecrows if we're to keep the birds and
25:57bugs at bay.
25:58Today on my rounds of the barn, I've spotted two very hungry lambs giving their mum a pretty
26:22tough time trying to get milk, so I'm keen to check she's producing enough of the white
26:27stuff.
26:28So I'm just filling her bag for any lumps.
26:30Mastitis is obviously a thing, but the bag feels pretty good.
26:33There's plenty of milk in there.
26:34Quite often I've seen when the lambs go up and they kind of do this thing where they kind
26:38of butt the bag to instigate the milk then to be, you know, so they can suck it out.
26:44And she's sometimes a little bit tender.
26:45It looks like she's kicking out.
26:47And at times she's been a little bit reluctant to allow them to feed.
26:51As we know, raising twins is very demanding, especially when they're hungry.
26:56By putting her on her back safely, I'll be able to get a good look at her udder and teats.
27:02Oh, I've just noticed a, oh yeah, that's not good.
27:07You can see there's been some sort of split there and she's actually torn, which is obviously
27:13no good.
27:14She's still bleeding there.
27:15That needs stitching up.
27:16I think that's a vet job.
27:18So I'll give the vet a quick call now and let her come up because that's obviously not
27:22as healed, not healed as well as we'd hoped.
27:25Before giving birth, this ewes uterus had prolapsed or popped out due to the pressure
27:31of the unborn twins.
27:33With help, it did right itself.
27:36But the bleeding is a worrying sign.
27:38That's why it's so important to kind of inspect and investigate.
27:42She needs to be healthy to rea these two lambs, so that needs sorting.
27:46Poor girl.
27:46She's been through the, she's been through a lot.
27:49With a call into the vets, all I can do is hope that this tear doesn't also prevent the
27:54eut from rearing lambs next year.
27:55We're halfway through lambing season and so far, it's been problem free.
28:11But on my rounds of the barn today, I've seen one of our ewes has a tear that's not healing
28:16after birthing twins.
28:18So I've called in vet Angelica to help examine the ewe.
28:22Hi, Angelica, you OK?
28:23Hi, you're all right?
28:24Yeah.
28:24Let's have a look at this ewe.
28:27So this is the one that prolapsed.
28:29She had triplets.
28:30We lost the first one.
28:32These two have since been all right.
28:34But when they try and feed her, she looks really tender.
28:37We will have a look.
28:38She might need some stitching.
28:41We have to deal with this tear and hope there's not more internal damage that will prevent her
28:45from having lambs in the future.
28:48Angelica needs to give her an epidural to numb the area.
28:54She's strong, this one, yeah.
28:59She's pretty strong.
29:02Oh, good girl.
29:06She's going all right, actually.
29:07She's settled down.
29:08I think that epidural has done the job.
29:13She's calmed down a lot.
29:15Is it a bad tear?
29:17It is, like, in a sense that it's all, like, the width of the wall, of the, like, of the vulva.
29:25But it's not as bad as I thought, because she's not really going deep into the birth canal.
29:32Right, OK.
29:33So even if you decided to re-breed from her, that shouldn't be a problem when she lambs again next year.
29:40Oh, right, OK.
29:40That's such a relief.
29:44I really wasn't expecting such a positive outcome.
29:48Now my job is to play surgical assistant as Angelica stitches the tear.
29:53I don't like watching this bit.
29:56I can't.
29:57It goes through me, this.
29:58I've improved, though, because there was a once upon a time I could not even...
30:03I'd faint if I saw a needle, whereas now I can actually look at it.
30:07I can't look at it going in, though.
30:10Do you like doing this, Angelica?
30:11Is this the bit that you love?
30:12I love it, yeah.
30:13I like getting, like, a mess situation and turning it into, like, a nice job.
30:19I've started knitting, you know, after I've become quite good with surgeries.
30:23Oh, since this you've started knitting?
30:24Yeah.
30:25We'll have to give you some of our wool, then you can knit it into it.
30:29Oh, honestly, yes, I would love to.
30:33With a you calm and sedated, it's nice to take this time to get to know Angelica,
30:38who's been one of our vets for a few years now.
30:41Did you always want to be a vet as a kid?
30:43Yeah.
30:44Did you, yeah?
30:44Yeah, because I grew up amongst animals.
30:47I've always had sheep, but my first love were horses.
30:50And I felt that they were, like, so delicate.
30:53That was, like, I, when I grow up and I will have my horses, I need to be a vet,
30:59so if anything happens, like, I can't be, like, quick to intervene.
31:05Cal, have you always wanted to be a farmer?
31:07Ha, ha.
31:09I, I...
31:10No, I don't ever, I don't think I ever wanted to, kind of, be a farmer.
31:14It's just the way it's, the way it's turned out.
31:17So I was in Emmerdale for 20 years.
31:1920 years?
31:2020 years.
31:21So I started Emmerdale when I was 12.
31:23Oh, I didn't know that.
31:24But I played a farmer in Emmerdale.
31:27OK.
31:28And he was from the town.
31:29And it's only weird, now I say it out loud,
31:32it makes me realise, like, life's literally imitating the house.
31:37Yeah.
31:38Stitch is done and antibiotic spray is used to help prevent infection.
31:44Nice, neat job, that.
31:45Yeah, just giving her some, uh, so she's having some antibiotics
31:49and having some painkillers as well, so.
31:54So she's sorted.
31:57While I keep Angelica busy and the kids are playing,
32:01Liz is over in the cottage,
32:03getting the place ready before our next guests arrive.
32:11We did contemplate moving the family into the cottage
32:14after the fire at the farmhouse.
32:16But it's booked solid for the year ahead,
32:19giving the farm a much-needed income stream.
32:22So we've moved to a rented house,
32:24leaving the cottage to be enjoyed by the guests.
32:42On top of that,
32:43I'm not sure Liz would ever forgive me and the kids
32:46if we got our mucky mitts anywhere near this place.
32:52I'm slightly obsessed with the cottage, very obsessed.
32:56Like, even when I'm going out the door, you know,
32:57I'm, like, on my hands and knees, like,
32:59I'm literally, like, this, checking the floor.
33:04Kelvin says I've gone a bit mad with it,
33:05but it's my thing, it's what I love.
33:08It makes me so happy being in here,
33:11cleaning it.
33:11I actually can't wait for a changeover.
33:14I clean it, blitz it,
33:15and then I do, like, a proof check
33:18where I will start from the top
33:20and work my way down to make sure everything is just perfect.
33:23because what I really want is when they arrive here,
33:26it feels like no-one else has been here before
33:29and they get that real sort of wow factor and experience.
33:33No-one's going to blow my own trumpet,
33:35but five-star reviews.
33:40When we started renovating this cottage four years ago,
33:44we had no idea what it would become.
33:46And it's all down to Lizzie's eye for interiors
33:49that she didn't even know she had.
33:53You know, there's a few random things in this house,
33:55just a random pomegranate.
33:57I mean,
33:59it just works, doesn't it?
34:03Since moving here,
34:06the cottage is one of our biggest successes
34:09and something that we never imagined.
34:14When we bought here,
34:16we thought, oh, yeah, liquor paint,
34:18we might rent it out a couple of weekends a year
34:21and we'll see what happens.
34:22and it's just gone beyond our expectations.
34:28But this is probably the first step into diversifying on the farm.
34:33It's what brings us an income.
34:36It's what we absolutely love doing
34:37and I've learnt so much from it.
34:39I would like to do more of this.
34:41This is my thing.
34:43I like it.
34:47It's providing such an important income for us
34:49that we've decided to keep the guests coming
34:52and re-look at getting ourselves
34:54a temporary home on the farm
34:55until the fire damage is sorted.
34:58Kelvin's only allowed in here
35:00if I've got a job for him.
35:02So if I need a screw tightening up
35:04or I need something putting up,
35:05the kids are not allowed to come in.
35:08Or the dog.
35:09They will wreck the place within 30 seconds.
35:11I just know it.
35:13So they're not allowed in here.
35:15Just other people's kids are,
35:17just not mine.
35:17Away from the barns and the farm animals,
35:38a whole host of native and non-native species
35:41call our farm home.
35:44And every spring,
35:46migratory birds flock here
35:48to rear their chicks
35:49and Liz wants to take Milo bird watching.
35:54Guess what I've just seen.
35:56Just you wait and see.
35:58I'm going to show you right here.
36:00OK?
36:03You're going to be so happy.
36:06As she has news
36:07on one of our rather special residents.
36:10Right, so Milo,
36:12do you remember we were worried about that geese
36:14that was all on his own?
36:15Yeah.
36:16Well, guess what?
36:17I've just got it.
36:19Can you see through the trees?
36:23He's had some chicks.
36:24He's had some chicks in his woman's bag.
36:28I think the mummy
36:30has just been on a holiday
36:32while he's just had, like,
36:34a laxing time on his own.
36:36And then the mummy's just like,
36:38why do I have to bother the kids?
36:40Why do I have to look at the kids
36:42while you're on holiday?
36:45Is that what you think?
36:46Yeah.
36:47The dad's been on a retreat
36:48while the mum's been looking after all the kids.
36:50Yeah.
36:51I'm sure the dad has been very busy building the nest.
36:56But this really is such good news
36:58as Liz was concerned that this Canada goose
37:00had lost his mate for life.
37:03He looks happy now, doesn't he?
37:06He doesn't look worried any more.
37:08Yeah.
37:10Oh.
37:11Well, you know, that bush goes all around.
37:13I know it's a big bush.
37:14that is, I wonder if she laid her eggs in there.
37:16Oh, yeah.
37:17Maybe that's where she's been.
37:19Yeah.
37:19In there,
37:22laying her chicks.
37:24And Milo seems to have solved the mystery
37:26of why the mum has been hiding in the bushes.
37:29If I was a mummy geese,
37:32I was like,
37:33ooh, I need to go.
37:35Like, I need to lay my eggs.
37:37Yeah.
37:37And if I lay my eggs on the water,
37:41that means it will come there
37:43and we've got a big fish, have we?
37:46Mm-hmm.
37:46So the fish might come up
37:48and a crocodile that we've got
37:51might come up and eat him.
37:54But luckily,
37:55she must have laid them in her nest
37:56so they didn't get to the crocodile, did they?
37:58No.
37:58Oh, look at the chicks following the mummy now!
38:01Oh, they're going to go in the water!
38:04Oh!
38:07Oh, there's four of them!
38:09Oh, that's where she went now.
38:10They're going back to the nest.
38:12Well, we can stop worrying about him now.
38:14He's reunited with his family.
38:17Canada geese tend to return to the same spot
38:19to raise their chicks.
38:21So when this pair didn't return together,
38:24Liz feared the worst.
38:26The daddier geese just seemed to be on his own
38:29a lot longer than normal.
38:31He just looks so lost on the water on his own.
38:34Anyway, it turns out that she's just laid her chicks
38:37a little bit later than normal.
38:40She's done a good job.
38:41We've got four of them.
38:42We know what it's like to have four kids, don't we?
38:45Come on.
38:46Let's go and tell Dad
38:47the chicks are back in town.
38:49Woo!
38:50The chicks are back in town!
38:52We've got good news.
38:53With all the kids on the farm,
39:10I've got the perfect task to keep them entertained.
39:14And whilst also ticking an important job off our to-do list,
39:17we're making scarecrows.
39:19As my bags on sticks are failing to deter the crows
39:23from our freshly sown oats,
39:24we need to up our game.
39:27I think height-wise, this will be all right, won't it?
39:30I'm six foot-ish, you know.
39:34According to my spotlight, I think I'm 5'10",
39:36but I'm actually 5'8".
39:38Don't tell anybody.
39:39Five...
39:40I think I'm actually 5'7 1⁄2".
39:41Off-cuts of wood from around the yard
39:45are giving us the backbone to our latest additions to the farm.
39:49I didn't realise how important it is, you know.
39:51I always thought the scarecrows are just there
39:53as a little bit of a farm folklore
39:55and it doesn't really serve a purpose,
39:58but I was quite wrong.
40:00Crows can have quite a detrimental effect to the crop.
40:04We don't want that.
40:04We don't want them hitting me in the pocket, do we?
40:07All we have to do now
40:08is make the scariest scarecrows in the Peak District.
40:11What do we need to put in this bag?
40:13You need to put hay through it.
40:15Straw.
40:15Yay, straw.
40:17So, guys, pick up some straw from here
40:20and pack it in.
40:22Come on.
40:23Go on, Max, put it in.
40:25Ooh, right.
40:26Let's have a look.
40:26There we go.
40:28Yeah.
40:30That looks like you, Debbie.
40:31Hello.
40:32With old sacks, straw
40:34and a bag of clothes from a local charity shop,
40:36we've got everything we need
40:38to rustle up two great scarecrows.
40:40Oh, look at our guy.
40:44He's looking good.
40:46Any excuse to do a bit of art or creativity,
40:49I am there.
40:49When Kelvin said we need some scarecrows,
40:51I was like, I know exactly what to do.
40:53So, yeah.
40:55Right, guys, we need to dress the scarecrow.
40:57All right, let's get him dressed.
40:58Come on.
40:58So come and choose some clothes.
41:01You want to choose the trousers?
41:02Yeah, you go take them to Dad.
41:04I think I might need to get first dibs on this lot
41:07before we decide what the scarecrows are getting.
41:09And where, then?
41:11I know.
41:13This is actually...
41:14Hey, it suits me as well.
41:16Doesn't it?
41:19That is actually a really nice shirt.
41:21The arms are well in that, don't they?
41:24Shirt bagged for me.
41:25And the scarecrows can have the rest.
41:29Put the shirt on first.
41:30It's easier with the shirt.
41:31Shirt on first, OK.
41:32Max, go and get a shirt, that one on the floor.
41:34Yes, please.
41:38Oh, there we go.
41:39Hey.
41:39Thank you, mate, give us a kiss.
41:41Look at this, eh?
41:42You're a good helper, aren't you?
41:44Yeah.
41:44One of the biggest things about the farm
41:46is just doing things with the kids
41:49that just feel so special and memories for them.
41:52I really hope they look back and say,
41:54do you remember when we did that?
41:55I'm really enjoying this.
41:57And I weren't meant to be doing this.
42:01The three boys have been slightly distracted
42:03from the job in hand.
42:05But Marnie's keeping an eye
42:06on how they're shaping up.
42:09He's got a nice slim waist, Mike.
42:10My guy's got a nice V.
42:12He looks in shape.
42:13He looks in shape.
42:15You've been working out, mate.
42:17We're going to have to start thinking
42:18of some names, guys, as well.
42:20Oh, yeah.
42:21Oh, Kelvin, they're some high-waisted pants.
42:27Yours should be called Simon.
42:29Simon Cow.
42:31While we ponder names,
42:32we just need to add the finishing touches
42:34before taking them out
42:36and into the field to be put to work.
42:38Do we not need to spray paint a face on?
42:40Yeah, we'll do that now with some spray paint.
42:43One eye, two eye, a nose,
42:45just a spot for a nose
42:47and then a smiley face.
42:49Or is he angry?
42:50No.
42:51Is he smiling or is he angry?
42:53Angry.
42:54Are you sure?
42:56Are you...
42:57Oh, yeah.
43:01My vibe is...
43:03Do you like her face?
43:04I love it.
43:05Give her a blonde fringe.
43:07There we go.
43:08And fudge up for Milo.
43:10That's it, it's it.
43:11One, two, three, scarecrow's!
43:13Scarecrow's!
43:16Yay!
43:19Up in our freshly sewn oak field,
43:22our makeshift scarecrows
43:23are finally being replaced
43:25by two new, rather impressive figures.
43:28We're now going to put these in the field.
43:31We're going to carry Simon Cowell
43:32and what's yours called?
43:34Esmeralda.
43:35Esmeralda.
43:36I really have no idea
43:37why we keep letting the kids name things.
43:40So, Simon Cowell and Esmeralda
43:43have a big job on their hands.
43:45Keep crawls away from our crop.
43:48So, we have to pretend that we're tractors
43:50and we're going to walk in a line, single file,
43:53and let's follow Daddy on the tram lines.
43:55Can I go with the bus?
43:55Yo, hee-ho.
43:58That's it, in the tram tracks.
43:59Don't stand on the crop.
44:01Kids crushing it all.
44:04Don't worry, it's just your breakfast
44:05for the next ten years, Max.
44:06You're crushing it all.
44:09These are like our favourite evenings.
44:11The sun's shining.
44:12We're out, you know,
44:13until it goes dark, really.
44:15Doing jobs, having fun,
44:18and just letting them have a bit of freedom.
44:21Sometimes you can be so busy
44:22getting them here, getting them there,
44:23working and doing everything.
44:25You just feel like this is...
44:26You're really present.
44:28Yeah, it's great.
44:29It's my favourite moments on the farm.
44:31Now let's get Simon Cowell on the ground.
44:33They just go off and have the fun.
44:35We actually do the jobs.
44:36We actually have to finish them.
44:39Right, let's put it in.
44:44There you go.
44:49Right, we're done, guys.
44:51Come on, let's call it a day.
44:54Bye, Scarecrow.
44:56Bye, Esmeralda.
44:58Scare the crows.
44:59These are the best-dressed
45:00scarecrows in Cheshire with that.
45:02Designer scarecrow.
45:03Not a shadow of it all.
45:05They're just better than me.
45:07They're just better than me, aren't they?
45:09Not now you've been through their wardrobe.
45:10You've got some new gear.
45:11Yeah, yeah.
45:21Next time on our farm,
45:24one of our ewes takes a turn for the worst.
45:27Yeah, she's quite unwell,
45:28so it's a good job that I kind of found her
45:30when I did, really.
45:31It's amazing how it can become quite serious
45:34quite quickly.
45:36A visit from the vet yields some mixed news.
45:39So, I'm just scanning around both sides of a uterus
45:42and there is a calf in there.
45:45Yes!
45:46OK, not quite so good news.
45:49No.
45:49And we welcome a new Gaelic addition to our coop.
45:52He's French.
45:53He's Fredos.
45:54Bonjour!
45:56Very good-looking.
45:57I mean, look at him.
45:58He's a handsome chap.
45:59I think Kelvin, you know,
46:01two alphas look at each other.
46:02He might square up to the cockerel
46:03and be like,
46:04who's the boss of this farm?
46:05And he'll know he's the cockerel.
46:06We'll see you next time.
46:36We'll see you next time.
