Lesley Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Location tonight (Ch 4 - 8pm) is another revisited to the camel people - they are the ones who looked at the farm we're living in now on the first programme, they turned it down as it was too run down and they needed to move their camels in straight away. They've revisited it once but this is new. Don't think they will show the farm again but it should be fun to watch them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Yes, it's the run-down, manky, farm We'll be watching to see if it appears again - it's good to see how much it has changed. They are still local and we see Mr Fosset in the local shop occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Just watched it. Crikey.....what a transformation you have made to the place in such a short time. It is almost unrecognisable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Yes, it's the run-down, manky, farm They are still local and we see Mr Fosset in the local shop occasionally. Is Mr. Fossett as much of a pompous bottom as he comes across as? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 It was great to see where you started from, and how much you have achieved Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Sally - sorry, that's my fault! The land and outbuildings were the run-down part, the house was new build and not finished at the time. Janty - Mr Fosset is........Mr Fosset He's a bit of a character I suppose. He's part of the Fosset Circus family. Lewis - are you going to work with the camels? what fun!!!! I've not seen anything locally where the camels are racing. It was another of Ch4 's rip-off repeats. They had added another few minutes to the end and didn't class it as a repeat It was mostly a repeat of a repeat It was good to see the state that it was all in though - good to see how far we've come. We gave ourselves 5 years to sort it out and then another 3 years to get it as we really would like it so we're very pleased with what we've done in 3 years. (and we didn't pay the pie-in-the-sky figure being bandied about either - apart from the new house, the place was in too poor a condition to even start at that price!) (and the new house still needed plenty doing to it - the stairs make us laugh......they weren't the stairs that were in when we bought it! they were closed stairs and we had open tread, now changed to closed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I managed to miss it, despite your message blame it on the hoovering! I remember very well the day you moved in.. smouldering heaps of rubbish, discarded tyres and mattresses; looked like a fly-tipping site! And as for the knee-deep fossilised poo in the outbuildings...... Having seen the changes as you made them, I am never ceased to be amazed Lesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I watched it. I also thought Mr . Fossett was a pompous eccentric. Circus family eh? Well that explains a bit more why any normal person would keep camels. I wonder what other mad things people keep? I adored that house that Mr Fosset wouldn't even go in! It was so cozy looking & done out to my taste. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Lewis - are you going to work with the camels? what fun!!!! I've not seen anything locally where the camels are racing. Not yet, I asked could I go this summer (hopefully I'll be able to drive by then!) but if I'm trying for Animal Science I may not need to - would be good fun though I managed to find it on 4OD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 If you missed it it can be seen here http://www.channel4.com/programmes/4od except my eMac is so old it doesn't have the software needed to watch typical!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I caught it last night on the More4 repeat. What a fabulous farm you have there Lesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 I could post photos that would change your mind - they didn't dare show any of the outbuildings - and the contents of the outbuildings! We're just about to have the 8th skip collected - and the 9th one left! (but that is what kept the price down ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
