A visit to Diddly Squat

On Thursday we had a visit to Diddly Squat Farm (of Clarkson's Farm fame... those who know will understand, those who don't won't care anyway). We managed a quick look around the infamous farm shop (no sign of Lisa... or anyone else famous, much to F and J's disappointment — despite being warned this was likely the case) and picked up some local vittles and a postcard (of Kaleb in Jeremy's Lamborghini tractor).

The entrance and farm shop. Only about a ten-minute line up to get in (apparently it can be over an hour during busy season).
Get your cow juice refills here (old-style glass milk bottles are still available in the UK and can be refilled at these new-fangled machines).
Jeremy, Gerald and Kaleb stuffed toys available 😁.

We then grabbed some locally-grown burgers for lunch (very delicious) from around the back and ate in the former lambing shed.

We left our mark (with hundreds of others) on the wall of the lambing shed.

After lunch we had a bit of a drive around Chadlington and a stop in Chipping Norton for some snacks and a quick charge at the local Co-Op before heading back through some very heavy rain. England has been having some very significant rain (and flooding) over the past week. Thursday night some areas are predicted to get a month's worth of rain overnight. Needless to say we encountered some very significant puddles (but no actual road impeding flooding yet)!
