Our Yorkshire Farm

It is the Easter holidays and while the children are out of school their lessons on the farm are just beginning. The family learn the highs and lows of lambing, build a dog kennel and save a lamb with a broken leg.

The older children return to school after Easter, leaving their parents dealing with the spring lambs and two toddlers. At the weekend, the girls buy a pony at a horse fair - but struggle to get it home with no horsebox - while Reuben fixes up a dirt bike for his little brother Sid.

As summer gets underway, the family's biggest priority is rounding up all 1000 sheep from the moors and getting them ready for shearing. However, gathering the flock is made nearly impossible when the quadbikes are stolen. Reuben steps in to help on his dirt bike, while Edith and Violet get an urgent crash course in sheepdog handling. Clive also organises a camping trip for the family.

Late summer means hay time on the farm, but a storm halts the harvest, endangering the winter feed for the livestock. As the summer comes to a close, Raven receives her A-Level results, while 15-year old Reuben undertakes his first welding project.
