Ep 211 Stephen Adcock: Ipstone Patchwork Clockwork Dexter Farmstay
Manage episode 409898479 series 2894816
Our stay at Clockwork Cottage was one of the quiet delights of our UK trip in August of 2023. The Peak District in England is well known as being a day-hiker’s destination filled with rolling emerald fields, ancient stacked stone walls, and sheep, sheep and sheep. There are those amazing things, yes, and found aplenty, but for the Backyard Green Films crew the hills were alive with the breeze blowing through the grass, and the sound of…Dexters! Dexter Cattle, that is.
This smallest native breed is originally from Ireland, but found in other places now. It might be hard to imagine a lovelier place for them than here, though. And the Full English Breakfast and super soft beds had nothing to do with it, I’m sure.
Our sincere thanks to Stephen Adcock for taking the time to speak with us in the midst of a busy farm day (and his wife Sharon, who introduced us to Full English Breakfast – can’t forget that).
