Back to Earth

They build dams that take pollutants out of the water, encourage biodiversity, prevent floods AND they’re super adorable! I’m proud to announce that this podcast has officially become a beaver fancast! Join me as I begin my transformation into a paragon of environmentalism, like Captain Planet or The Green Giant! I’ll be planting seeds and watching them grow, planning a beaver invasion with mum and taking my husband for a countryside stroll to ambush him with a talk about his feelings.

The prophecy has been fulfilled! The farmer’s daughter has returned, to take her rightful place as keeper of the all-powerful key. Join me as I revel in my important responsibility and mighty ability to open gates. I’ll be getting a closer look at grain collection, enjoying a mini-tour of our 500 year old farmhouse and taking the scenic route down to my dad’s pond.

With phase one of the vineyard complete, the time has come to turn my steely gaze toward the abandoned vegetable patch. Join me as I ready the garden for Spring. I’ll be digging in the dirt, hacking back the unruly Tayberry bush (what even is a Tayberry anyway?) and reminiscing with mum about the master of the veg patch: my dad.

They laughed at me when I said I was building a wine empire. Well who’s laughing now?! Not me, I’m digging holes on the top of a windswept hill in winter. Join me for some good old fashioned manual labour! I’ll be planting trees to protect the vineyard from vicious winds, chatting to farm manager Nigel about a very special lady and catching up with an old friend I knew a long, long time ago before I became a professional farmer.

You can always rely on your nearest and dearest to keep you grounded! Join me for a fireside chat with mum as we go over all the mistakes I’ve made on the podcast (so far!). I’ll be making weak excuses for my glaring errors, learning more about the history of the farm and hearing mum’s nightmarish experiences of Foot and Mouth. CONTENT WARNING! The Foot and Mouth stuff gets pretty grizzly, so maybe not suitable for small children or mealtimes.

I know you probably think I’m a farm expert by now, but believe it or not there’s still a lot to learn! Join me for an exclusive interview with farm manager Nigel, who’s been working here since he was 16(!) years old. I’ll be pestering him with questions about the good old days of livestock farming, chatting with my husband about the bad old days of Foot and Mouth (the disease that ran rife through the British countryside in 2001) and hugging it out with some trees in the sweet embrace of Springtime.

Now this is what the countryside is all about… Wine tasting! Yes, I’m totally serious about growing grapes. Join me for some in-depth boozy research into local vineyard offerings. I’ll be scheming schemes, tapping my city contacts and building the foundations of my WINE EMPIRE, while my husband has a heart-to-heart with his work buddy.

OK so I’m basically a farmer now! There are just a couple of things I need to know before I get stuck in. Like, what do farmers actually do? Join me on my first walk to my new job, along the North Devon Tarka Trail! I’ll be staggering my way up the infamous 'beetroot hill', checking out my new studio (an old shed) and cosying up in front of the fireplace for a cute chat with mum about the decline of traditional farming, bureaucratic mismanagement and Government subsidies.

Goodbye London! You’ve been my home for 10 glorious years, but now it’s time to pack up all my worldly possessions and move to the greener pastures of North Devon. I’m going to be a farmer! Join me as I begin my new life of welly boots and flat caps (I’m not wearing flat caps) upon the rolling hills of the West Country. I’ll be flexing my limited agricultural knowledge, getting nostalgic about my misspent youth and treating my husband to a tour of the farm.
