"The #UK is expecting a poor #harvest of most #brassicas, such as #broccoli, #cauliflower & #cabbages, owing to the #drought, with #farmers saying this year could be one of the worst on record. This #summer was the UK’s hottest on record, according to provisional Met Office data. In #England, #temperatures peaked at 38.1C (100.1F) at Kew Gardens in #London on 13 August, & June had already been confirmed as the country’s hottest since records began in 1884."

#Countrywide on RTÉ Radio 1 has me gobsmacked. "The first time in Irish history" that CPO (Compulsory Purchase Order) has been used for "a leisure facility" and not "essential infrastructure" @rte @Feljin
I wouldn't be inclined, after hearing it, to use the Kerry Greenway (and I've already had experience of Kerry's deadly roads), but the piece on the Sheep's Head Peninsula greenway had me drooling

Soil degradation - the stuff of life that is called 'dirt'
"Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth."* The Ig Nobel Prizes: "Franz Bender, Marcel van der Heijden, Atlant Bieri, and Pia Viviani, for burying 1,000 identical pairs of underpants in more than 25 countries and then digging them up after two months."
"The results: Land use was the most important factor. Underpants decomposed the fastest in private gardens, where soil analysis also revealed the highest levels of organic matter. Lawns showed the least activity of soil organisms, with agricultural fields and meadows ranging in the middle. Temperature and moisture levels also affected organism activity, particularly if conditions were too cold or too dry, as did soil nutrient levels. Overall, the authors found that their “underpants index” provided equally meaningful information about soil conditions as the TBI, including chemical and physical properties, elevation, and moisture." >>
https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/09/meet-the-2026-ig-nobel-prize-winners/* "Soil is a vital resource for plant growth. It hosts a major part of global species diversity and is key for ecosystem functioning and it forms the basis of human civilization. Yet soils are rapidly degrading, threatening food production, biodiversity, and Earth system functioning. This threat is largely unrecognized in broader society, hindering effective steps towards soil protection."
"Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil-related issues is limited."
"Farmers, responsible for the management of vast areas of land, often receive little education in basic soil principles. The lack of relationship between the public and soil leads to wasteful treatment of global soil resources. Increased awareness and targeted action towards the protection of soils are urgently needed." >>

The Perkins Institute for Global Studies @theperkinsinstitute.wordpress.com@theperkinsinstitute.wordpress.com ·Jeremy Clarkson: The Gearhead turned farmer
The Man who that neither the culture vultures nor cancer could kill, the man who captivated generations of people!
When we think of great men and women, we tend to think of prophets, kings, statesmen, warriors, and the mythological figures who gave civilizations a language for understanding their world—and the courage to conquer it. Rarely, however, do we place pop-culture icons in that same category. They are often dismissed as temporary celebrities: products of their moment, destined to be reduced to nostalgia once their era has passed.
But every so often, an exception emerges that challenges the rule and gives rise to a generation voice.
On July 27, 1988, pop culture created one of those exceptions. Though like the rule itself, this moment was almost reduced to one failed season not fit for nostalgia.
What appeared at first to be another character, another story, another piece of entertainment became something far more enduring: a generational icon whose archetypal message survived the cultural shifts that sought to redefine, dismantle, and ultimately forget the ideals he represented.
Raising the question of whether we should mistake pop culture icon’s or heroes as mere entertainment for that moment when civilization need them most.
Jeremy Clarkson didn’t simply host a car show—he helped transform the way the world thought about cars. When Top Gear first appeared on April 22, 1977, its purpose was relatively straightforward: showcase automobiles and reflect Britain’s automotive industry. Decades later, Clarkson would help turn that modest concept into a global pop-culture phenomenon, transforming Top Gear from an automotive program into entertainment, comedy, travel, competition, and personality-driven television.
But no revolution happens alone.
Richard Hammond and James May were essential to the formula. Their contrasting personalities, competing perspectives, and unmistakable chemistry transformed three presenters into something far greater: a trio that became synonymous with an era of television and almost as iconic as the cars they drove.
They reinvented the car show—and proved that sometimes the greatest television isn’t about the subject at all. It’s about the people who make you care about it. And that they did because we all had tears in our eyes when they signed off The Grand Tour for the last time in Africa.
When The Grand Tour aired its final episode in 2024, it wasn’t simply the end of a television show—it felt like the closing chapter of a relationship millions of us had grown up with. For nearly three decades, Clarkson, Hammond, and May took us across the world, through impossible roads, remote landscapes, ridiculous challenges, and some of the greatest cars ever built. When it finally ended, the questions were inevitable: Would we ever see the three of them together again? What comes next? And can the automotive world ever feel quite the same without them?
For an entire generation, these three weren’t just presenters. They were the friends who introduced us to cars. They made us care about machines we could never afford, dream about roads we’d never drive, and, for many of us, buy the project car that would sit unfinished in the driveway for the next decade. Their adventures turned an interest in automobiles into something much bigger—a shared passion, a culture, and a community.
And when the journey ended, millions of us were left asking the same question:
What do you do when the people who taught you to love something finally say goodbye?
For Jeremy Clarkson, the voice that had transformed automotive television wasn’t finished—it had simply found a new field to conquer. Literally. When Clarkson’s Farm premiered in 2021, the premise seemed almost absurd: take one of Britain’s most famous car presenters, give him a farm, and somehow turn agriculture into television. Even the producers seemed skeptical that Clarkson would survive the experience. Yet what began as a potential disaster quickly became one of Amazon’s most unexpected successes.
The question was whether fans who had followed Clarkson from Top Gear to The Grand Tour would care about farming. The answer came quickly: absolutely. The show proved that Clarkson’s appeal was never really about cars—it was about his personality, his curiosity, his spectacular ability to turn ordinary problems into extraordinary disasters, and the people around him. Add a cast of unforgettable farmhands, particularly Kaleb Cooper, and suddenly tractors, crops, bureaucracy, weather, and livestock became every bit as entertaining as supercars and exotic road trips.
What made Clarkson’s Farm remarkable wasn’t simply that Jeremy Clarkson made farming entertaining—it was that he turned a traditionally overlooked industry into a national conversation. What began as television quickly became a platform for farmers and rural communities facing rising costs, regulation, economic uncertainty, and an increasingly complicated relationship with government. Clarkson brought those struggles into living rooms that might otherwise never have considered them, showing audiences just how difficult—and expensive—it can be to produce the food we take for granted. When he took farmers to London to protest policies affecting their livelihoods, he wasn’t simply creating another television moment; he was giving visibility to people who often felt invisible. Whatever one’s politics, the cultural impact was difficult to ignore: Clarkson helped millions of viewers understand that farming isn’t merely an occupation—it is the foundation of food security, rural communities, and a degree of independence that modern society can easily take for granted.
He didn’t just make farming entertaining. He made people pay attention.
Just as Clarkson seemed to be entering another successful chapter, audiences were reminded that even the larger-than-life figures who have entertained us for decades are still human. Near the end of Clarkson’s Farm Season Five, Clarkson revealed that he had been diagnosed with cancer and would require surgery and treatment. Thankfully, it was reportedly caught early, giving him a much stronger chance of recovery. For fans who had followed him from Top Gear to The Grand Tour and now into the fields of Diddly Squat, the news carried a different weight: the man who had spent decades making us laugh suddenly gave us a reason to worry.
If you haven’t watched Clarkson’s Farm, you’re missing far more than another Clarkson comedy. It delivers the same irreverent entertainment that made Top Gear and The Grand Tour cultural phenomena, but it also pulls back the curtain on an industry most of us rarely see. From farm-to-table production and spiraling costs to livestock, crops, and the realities of running a brewery, the series turns agriculture into something surprisingly personal and accessible.
As it turns out, Clarkson didn’t leave the world of entertainment behind when he left the driver’s seat. He simply discovered that the next great adventure was waiting in a field.
Jeremy we are praying for you!
