FLETCHERS ON THE FARM

In the middle of the pandemic, one family moved from their comfortable modern house on a smart estate in Oldham, Manchester to a centuries-old farmhouse, surrounded by nothing but fields as far as the eye could see. So how did they end up on this 120 acre working farm in the Peak District? Kelvin Fletcher is a much-loved British actor who lifted the coveted trophy on Strictly Come Dancing in 2019 and his childhood sweetheart, now wife, Liz is a Voice Over artist and actor. With their two children they have appeared in BBC One's Kelvin?s Big Farming Adventure. Here in their own words is their remarkable story. In pyjamas and wellies, they chase pigs back into the pen and through the mayhem of kids and muddy troughs they begin a new life in the countryside. After just eight months, they had 40 sheep, three pigs and three alpacas waiting for their breakfast, and by the end of this book, a new baby was to make three kiddes, or would that be four with twins? And not forgetting Ginger the dog. 325 pages, colour photos.
