Julius is taking us on an emotional and fun journey as he heads into the woods beside the farmhouse to forage for cherries just like his beloved Granny showed him when he was a small boy. Then he's dusting down the cookbook she left him, to make her delicious Cherry Frangipane Tart with fabulous plump fruit and sharing the trick to making fool proof Simple Shortcrust Pastry before tucking into a slice with a big dollop of crème fraiche with his brother Jocelyn. Then in his ramshackle greenhouse he's got basil growing tips covered, from the best way to keep a shop bought plant thriving, to planting and growing your own basil seeds. Then he's heading to the garden to pick herbs that will take an incredible Herby Egg Mayo Sandwich to the next level and sharing the secret to whipping up easy home-made Classic Mayo. He's really encouraging people to have a go and after this there'll be no turning back to shop bought, it's so simple and achievable. Finally, there's one of the biggest jobs of the summer to tackle and a lot of hard work ahead gathering his sheep for their annual shearing. His brother Jocelyn and local friend and shepherdess Angie Drewett are helping. She's bringing along her old sheepdog who surprises everyone as he triumphs in the meadow, gathering up Julius' flock against the odds. Next day they are joined by Sheep Shearer Edward Goodfellow, Julius is trying his hand at rolling up fleeces and with all the sheep sheared there's a delicious lunch of Fire Pit Baked Beans for the hardworking shearing crew complete with an offer from the shearer to give Julius's hair a trim.See less
