I farm - there is something visceral about being attached to the land. I am a recording engineer. I do my own laundry most days, and I get on with the business of living.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been working with the land for most of my life; walking it and photographing it. And I love it to bits.
I like owning dirt. You know, I spent a lot of time broke when I moved to California. So deep in my soul is still this idea of being unemployed. To me, owning land means you could sell it at some point and have money.
I have a production company,; I have a foundation. I have a lot of responsibilities. Not family - just a lot of responsibilities.
My dad farmed, my granddad was a farmer. I wanted to be a farmer.
My life is gardening, cleaning around the house and power washing.
We've got nine generations of farmers in my family, in Warwickshire. And I do feel connected to being a farmer's son. There was a time when I didn't, when I rebelled against it, but there's certainly that sort of work ethic within me.
My family and I reside on a non-working farm, although we have a couple of horses and the usual stuff like pigs, cows, and chickens. We really don't have an honest-to-goodness farm, more of a hobby farm.
I'm glad I don't have to make a living farming. Too much hard work. Too many variables you don't have control over, like, is it going to rain? All I can say is, god bless the real farmers out there.
I worked on a farm for a little bit.
I came from a farming background, and my career was teaching.
