Home to roost","description":"Welcome back to Clarkson's Farm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e So, that went well . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The spring barley crop failed.\u003cbr\u003e Just like the oil seed rape.\u003cbr\u003e And the durum wheat.\u003cbr\u003e Then the oats turned the color of a hearing aid and the mushrooms went moldy.\u003cbr\u003e Farming sheep, pigs and cows was hardly more lucrative. Jeremy would be better off trying to breed ostriches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But in the face of uncooperative weather, the relentless realities of the agricultural economy, bureaucracy, a truculent local planning department and the world's persistent refusal to recognise his ingenuity and genius, our hero's not beaten yet. Not while the farm shop's still doing a roaring trade in candles that smell like his knacker hammock, he isn't.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e On the face of it, the challenges of making a success of Diddly Squat are enough to have you weeping into your (Hawkstone) beer, but misery loves company and in girlfriend Lisa, Farm Manager Kaleb, Cheerful Charlie and Gerald his Head of Security Jeremy knows he's got the best. And it's hard for a chap to feel too gloomy about things when there's a JCB telehandler, a crop-spraying hovercraft and a digger in the barn.","brand":"Clarkson, Jeremy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56677054120322,"sku":"9781405972253","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/6575\/5522\/files\/9781405972253.jpg?v=1779986650","url":"https:\/\/archwaybookshop.co.uk\/products\/9781405972253","provider":"Archway Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
