    I always tape the programme and then forget to watch it so I'll try to catch it tomorrow now.

    I don’t think they showed the CL but I spotted Ted and stored caravans.

    Thank you for highlighting this!  Yes, one of the 'other' sides of our farming diversification.  Alongside the (less profitable) farm we offer caravan storage and Horse Riding for those with their own horse.  People come either for the day or on holiday.  I also work with farmers and other rural businesses to improve their marketing.  For example I recently helped another CL with a website / booking system..

    The BBC did a great job of portraying us and we highlighted that farmers have many ways of diversifying their businesses.   FYI we were the last pieces of the programme..
