Diddly Squat: A Year on the Farm by Jeremy Clarkson | Goodreads

Once again, I have thoroughly enjoyed this entertaining narrative, feeling like I was learning along the way. If on the other hand, Jeremy nattering on is something you would find grating, you haven't missed all that much. Pull on your wellies, grab your flat cap and join Jeremy Clarkson in this hilarious and fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the farm we're all obsessed with.I mean, who's unaffected by the Aston Martin DB5 zooming through the Furka Pass in Goldfinger or the improved Ford Falcon raced across Aussie desert highways by Max Rockatansky? Okej, z Clarksonem mamy zupełnie inne spojrzenie na świat i nie podobają mi się jego niektóre poglądy (w tej książce chociażby ma się za rolnika ekologicznego, ale od ekologow wie lepiej i ma z dupy wzięte informacje), a jednocześnie wciąż go lubię. Since the last book, Clarkson’s enthusiastic schemes for diversification have been met with stubborn opposition from the ‘red trouser bridgade’, and Kaleb and Lisa have had doubts about Jeremy’s plan to build a business empire based on rewilding and nettle soup. It’s an incredibly short read, made shorter by the blank pages and drawing dotted between every chapter - chapters which themselves last only 6 pages on average.

And it's now clear from hard-won experience that, when it comes to farming, there's only one golden rule: Whatever you hope will happen, won't. It is just an amazing book, so if, like me, you enjoy agricultural and business/ comedy books, it is a must read. The book isn’t very long and has short chapters but, it’s so entertaining and enjoyable that it was a pleasure to read. It is a collection of his columns and that makes it ideal to read in small batches, but you'll probably finish it in a couple of sessions anyway.He wants a chainsaw but he’s afraid of them, and he constantly worries that he’ll walk home some day with his severed arm in a bag. From a career as a local journalist in the north of England, he rose to public prominence as a presenter of the original format of Top Gear in 1988.

Having turned his hand to farming three years ago, marmite figure Clarkson has been praised for showing the realities of farming life – whilst finding humour in the challenges and mishaps he faces day to day. Or that it's easier to get planning permission for a nuclear power station than turning an old barn into a restaurant? It is an easy and light-hearted read and I recommend reading it for anyone who is looking for a fit of laughter. I found the sections on sheep particularly funny and the things that they do that frustrated Jeremy no end.It covers general farm stuff, from tractors (Jeremy’s is a Lamborghini), the problems of hitching up anything to said tractor and the problem of fitting that tractor into the shed.
