Christmas at Ravenseat? It seems the festive season arrives twice this year for the Owens family as they continue their monumental farmhouse renovation on “Our Farm Next Door.” This Tuesday’s episode finds Amanda, Clive, and the kids grappling with the usual farm chores while preparing their animals for the coming cold weather. But amidst the practicalities, there’s a touch of magic in the air as a second Christmas descends upon their remote corner of Yorkshire.
While the farmhouse restoration continues, Amanda and daughter Clemmie take a trip down memory lane at Anty John’s. Joining historian Derek, they explore the history of the property, learning about its previous occupants, including the intriguing Anthony Clarkson. Back at the farm, Christmas Day brings gifts for everyone, even the goats, although their festive enthusiasm might prove a bit much to handle, even for this family.
As eldest sister Raven returns home, the Owens enjoy a sunny Boxing Day. The restoration at Anty John’s takes a significant step forward, with the first fire lit in decades. There’s also a surprise in store for the kids, thanks to Amanda’s Christmas decorating prowess. The sheer scale of the project becomes even clearer as Amanda reflects on their progress. Big decisions loom, but for now, the family savours the festive cheer. Tune in to More4 this Tuesday at 9:00 PM GMT.
