SHEERAN’S CULTIVATING A GOOD LIFE
ED Sheeran is obsessed with living The Good Life – just like in the hit
1970s sitcom.
The singer has been spending lockdown experimenting with growing fruit trees, vegetables and herbs on his £3.75million estate.
Ed, 29, has also been raising chickens and consulting gardening experts online about how to use his
16 acres to churn out produce. A source said Ed, inset, wants to be like Tom and Barbara Good.
The couple were played by Richard Briers and Felicity Kendal in the BBC show.
It followed them as they turned their suburban home into a tiny farm. Our insider added: “Since the coronavirus hit, Ed has developed the belief he should use his estate to produce more food.
“Ed keeps chickens, brews his own beer for the pub on his land and has been into self-sustainability for years. He loves the taste of the food grown on his land.
“He has been obsessively reading up on the subject and consulting experts and watching tutorials.”
Ed is worth an estimated £160m and owns Bertie Blossoms pub and restaurant in central London. He has been self-isolating in rural Suffolk with wife Cherry, 28. Last month, it was reported he had taken delivery of brewing kits so he could make his own ale. Celebrity gardener Monty Don recently warned self-sufficiency was a “non-starter”.
The 64-year-old said: “At best it consigns you to a life of dreary repetition and terrible food. “At worst your teeth fall out, your breath stinks, you erupt in boils and you sink into 13th-Century malnutrition. The Good Life indeed.”
