Our Yorkshire Farm star Clive Owen celebrated his 70th birthday on Our Farm Next Door and opened up about his hopes for his children to take over Ravenseat Farm
Our Yorkshire Farm star Clive Owen contemplated his future during Monday evening’s Our Farm Next Door as the farmer marked his 70th birthday.
Near the conclusion of the programme, Clive was presented with birthday gifts from his daughters and former wife, Amanda Owen, as they celebrated his special day.
He said, “Well, it was lovely for the girls to give me the sheep horns for my birthday. I’m using them for paperweights. Everyone needs a paperweight. And thank you for the coat, because I’ve been saying lately, I need a coat, haven’t I?”
Addressing the camera about his appreciation, the farmer continued, “I’m very, very fortunate to still be well and still be doing things. Life has been great.
“I definitely feel privileged to have led the life, absolutely. It’s such a strange thing, isn’t it, to come out of a mining village in South Yorkshire and to end up here,” reports the Express.
Clive remarked, “The journey has been quite remarkable. I loved it, and always have. The most important thing in all of this is the kids. It would be lovely to think that some of the children would take over and farm here at Ravenseat. And it would be lovely if my great-grandchildren are here in 100 years, wouldn’t it? But whether they will, who knows?”
This isn’t the first occasion Clive has discussed his children inheriting the farm from him.
“I am almost 70 now, so I have got to think about what comes next,” Clive revealed in an earlier episode of Our Farm Next Door. “It is something the family are discussing at the moment to see where the future lies for everyone It is nice for me to pass on my shears.”
He further stated, “What the future holds, you can never quite be sure. It is something the family are discussing at the moment to see where the future lies for everyone.”
Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids is available to watch on My4.
