However, all is not well on Diddly Squat as the first episode of the new series shows Jeremy in complete anguish.
The 64-year-old confessed he can no longer keep all his cows on the farm after the local council ordered him to close down the restaurant he opened on the site.
He couldn't help but get emotional when he saw his animals being loaded onto the lorry one by one.
Jeremy remarked: "I'm finding today really quite sad as for the last year I've been opening the windows, opening the curtains in the morning and there are the cows. And I love that.

Speaking to his land advisor Charlie, he asked what would happen to his beloved pet heifer Pepper.
Charlie replied: "I wouldn't ask too many questions about Pepper. Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answers to."
Completely taken aback by his comments, Jeremy was left practically speechless.

Jeremy previously hinted at tragedy with Pepper.
