'We're well and truly in our groove'

A fire rips through their home but the Fletcher family soon bounce back in series three of their TV show down on the farm

- 

Kelvin Fletcher welcomes cameras back to his farm for a third series, and proudly tells cameras he finally feels like a bona fide farmer. "This is my version of a happy life, we've found our purpose now," he said.

Joining Kelvin, 41, in the fourth year of Fletchers' Family Farm is his wife Liz and their four children - Marnie, nine, Milo, six, and three-year-old twins Mateusz and Maximus. "I'd even go as far as to say the kids are farmers," Liz said.

The family's Peak District farm is busier than ever. Lambing season is in full swing and even the twins are lending a hand. "It's our fourth year lambing," Kelvin said. "We're well and truly in our groove. The lambs are flying out at the moment which is great. We're not having to get involved at all. It's exactly what you want."

But there's more than lambs joining the fold this season. For the first time, the Fletchers welcome a breeding bull to grow their herd, following the success of their prize cow, Cherry, who was crowned Supreme Champion at the Royal Cheshire Show.
