Kelvin and Liz were set with another setback on the farm
Kelvin Fletcher and his wife, Liz, encountered a significant blow during the latest episode of Fletcher’s Family Farm, which airs on Sunday. Liz appeared visibly upset as she spoke candidly about the possibility of being made homeless once more.
Last year, the Fletcher family were forced to abandon their farm following a catastrophic fire. However, in the most recent episode, the couple were dealt yet another blow when a fierce storm struck.
Kelvin said in the voiceover: “Storm season is sweeping through the whole country, causing major floods and devastation, and our farm hasn’t escaped the impact.”
As the pair surveyed the destruction, Liz said, in shock: “Gosh, it’s hard to believe that the wind can blow that down, isn’t it?” Reflecting on a tree that had toppled dangerously close to their family home, Kelvin said: “Well, we’re very lucky, because another 10 feet would have been in the lodge,” reports the Mirror.
“We would have been homeless again,” Liz replied. “We’ve had every element now. We’ve had fire, floods, and now the wind has just missed the lodge, which must mean that our luck is finally on the way up. I don’t know what has gone on this year, but we’ve definitely been put to the test.”

Kelvin then proposed they tour the farm to assess what further destruction the storm had wrought. He said: “I’ve just seen that at the top of the paddock as well, we’ve got a massive tree that’s come down, that’s gone right over some fencing.
“It’s lucky nothing got hurt there, really, isn’t it?” Liz commented, to which her husband hit back, “We might get up there and find the sheep underneath it.”
As Liz climbed up the hill, she stated, “I talk about Kelvin’s farming trainers, I’ve made the biggest mistake today. White joggers and my favourite boots. I don’t know what I was thinking, not my usual attire, but it’s so cold, I’ve got two sets of thermals on, thick socks, and joggers.”
Elsewhere in the episode, Kelvin prepares Sonic for slaughter, bringing him into the barn to say his farewells.

“The day has arrived to say goodbye to our first-ever calf, Sonic, who’s heading off on his final journey,” he said. “This morning, we’re taking Sonic to, well, there’s no best way to say, I guess, to slaughter really. Sonic is going. So, yeah, bittersweet, really. It’s a bit of a weird one.
“I was thinking about this last night, and I woke up this morning feeling a bit… it is different to a sheep.
“I think it makes it even more difficult because we have got seven cows, and he was our first. You know, his tag number is 001, he’s our first cow. So, I guess we’ll always remember this one,” he added.
“We’ll always remember Sonic. They say the first is always the hardest, and then, who knows.”
Fletchers Family Farm airs on Sunday at 11.30am on ITV.
