Shepherds pie is quite nice.

It depends.

Yes I love it so much

[@kellystar8443]

No I cant think of anything worse. Stopped eating meat years ago and feel so much better.

[@jeanblyth6095]

What a very honest and lovely lady ,so pretty 💕

[@holymoly6829]

Might be best thing on TV for years The story is amazing with wonderful people and lovely kids 👏👏👏👏👏👏💕💕

[@soapfan2700]

Totally agree with you.

[@valeriebouchard7365]

Yes yes yes!

[@bethp3320]

“What are the chances of what they’re doing ending in instant death?” 😂🤣😁 I love Amanda

[@mikejackson3885]

This is the best reality show ever. Only found these amazing people two days ago, I'm completely blown away. Been binge watching the series.

[@janesheehan8511]

I've only just discovered this wonderful series about an amazing family. Their children seem so well balanced and kind to each other. They are an inspiration.

[@janetsawyers8703]

Love them all. Amanda and Clives parenting skills are second to none and are so right in what they do 👏👏👏👏👏❤️ Can’t wait for their next instalments of Yorkshire farming life 🥰

[@karenblackadder1183]

This is the kind of childhood my generation had in late 50s/early 60s We enjoyed life.

[@jeanettedickson2789]

I could not agree more they are amazing parents ❤️

[@joytreichel2282]

Isn't she just priceless? 🤩

[@carolineolsenarnold7039]

It would be a much better world if all children had this childhood to live.

[@1971caz38]

Away from the woke

[@kevingander]

You are just the loviest family in the world, don’t change a thing. I am an avid fan. 👏👏

[@stevew3196]

I agree 100% with Amanda's view on parenting. It's about doing the best she can for the children . She needs to satisfy herself that they are learning valuable skills. Anybody else's opinion is just that..an opinion. You just have to look at how the kids are thriving to see how her & clive are performing as parents! I had to smile about her trying to remember her age and saying that as a "nine cropper" she' d be down the road to the mart. Could you imagine the bidding if that were to happen?😂

[@lesleyallinson8738]

I think shes a wonderful mum my mum left us when I was born 3 lived in care till I was 16 I wish this lady was my mum!!!

[@valhanton7590]

What a lovely post. You brought a tear to my eyes. You are SO right, Amanda is a superb mum. 🙋✨

Yes I do too. Horrible. A family down the road from us had a new born baby and two toddlers during foot and mouth. A very strong couple

Most of Channel 5 news is female presenters usually black and Indian. I wrote to them and they said we have one Kristian Gurumuthy. yes but you have like 8 Black women, 2o Indian women. I asked them uner a FOIA for the number of Hindu and Sikh males and they refused to comment!

[@tonyclack5901]

I sympathise with the loss of your herd but you would have been compensated for those animals. When foot and mouth arived in Devon it destroyed my restaurant business ending in my bancruptcy and the loss of 21 jobs and everything I had worked for in my life. The government under blair gave no compensation to businesses. Once again here in April 2021 the governments lockdown is doing it again to me.

[@karenblackadder1183]

Arrogant people like you make me so angry. You obviously have no knowledge of hill farming. Those yows were heaf yows. Had your business burnt down all you have to do is relocate You cannot do that with heaf yows It takes decades for their knowledge to be re-established.

[@tonyclack5901]

@@karenblackadder1183 Do you farm then?

[@liamdaly2662]

Once again (if I’m correct) you have that same mathematical modelling professor to thank, Neil Ferguson, his modelling has never been anything other than wildly overestimated, if he worked for anyone other than the government (funded by) he would of been sacked immediately.

[@kellystar8443]

Dont get it people say they love animals so they breed them for meat. Even if you give them a nice life you hand them over to have their throats slit. When the sheep get slaughtered for foot and mouth she gets emotional.

[@stillirise9705]

Yes they sell them for money to live on, foot and mouth destroyed alot more

[@kellystar8443]

@Yorkshire Lass yes but I couldn't do it. I've been inside a slaughterhouse and nothing humane happens there. It's the stuff of nightmares.

@@kellystar8443 kind of the circle of life, you said to the other person you couldn't do it. I couldnt work a 9-5 in an office, doesnt mean others shouldn't or can't I understand some don't like it, but its always going to happen

yes im a farmers daughter and its completely hypocritical of her to weep over her sheep inthe foot and mouth every single farm animal is on its way to the abbatoir
