Our Yorkshire Farm

The Owens see Raven off as she departs for university, marking the end of her time at home. Meanwhile, their four‑year‑old daughter Clemmy is about to start school for the first time, but she is reluctant to leave the farm and its familiar surroundings.

The segment is an episode of a programme that follows the everyday lives of the Owens family. It captures a turning point for two of the household’s younger members as they prepare to move beyond the familiar rhythms of farm life. In this instalment the Owens gather to see Raven off as she heads off to university. At the same time, their four‑year‑old daughter Clemmy is on the brink of starting school. While Raven’s departure is marked by a hopeful goodbye, Clemmy’s anticipation is tinged with hesitation, as she isn’t particularly eager to leave the farm behind. The episode juxtaposes the excitement of Raven’s new academic chapter with Clemmy’s more reluctant step into formal education. It highlights the contrasting emotions within the family – pride in Raven’s achievement and the bittersweet feeling of watching a child grapple with the idea of change. Throughout, the farm setting remains a quiet backdrop to these milestones, underscoring how the Owens navigate both celebration and uncertainty as their children embark on very different paths away from home.
