Lisa Hogan has apologised to partner Jeremy Clarkson after failing to share a special treat she found while exploring his farm in the Cotswolds.
The Irish native took to Instagram on Wednesday to post a disappointing update on the fruit growing at Diddy Squat's orchards, telling viewers that the cloudy weather has negatively impacted their growth. In the short clip, Lisa showcases a bush of raspberries but admits that most of them remain inedible.
"We haven't had enough sun to ripen them," Lisa adds, before happening across a lone berry that's ready to eat.
"That one's perfect," the 49-year-old noted, eagerly plucking it off the tree. "Oh, look at that, that's mine. That's disappearing immediately." Lisa is then heard munching into the sweet snack, before realizing there would be none to bring back for the Top Gear star.

In the comment section below, green-fingered enthusiasts shared their own experiences of growing fruit over the 2023 summer season.

"We’ve had plentiful this year," one person wrote. "Just pick [sic] red currants and 10 jars of jelly made today." "Same here in Ireland," another person sympathized. "Notting ripping [sic]."
Just a few days before sharing her raspberries update, Lisa revealed that the potato crops on the farm were harvesting 'nicely'. The starchy vegetable has been an important staple in the farm shop, with sales of spuds alone making the business around £1,000 a day when it first opened.
Lisa and Jeremy have been dating since 2017 after reportedly being introduced to each other by friends at a party. The public interest in their relationship became more intense after the premiere of Amazon's Clarkson's Farm, in which both parties star as the co-managers of the rural Oxfordshire estate. The couple first moved to the idyllic Chadlington in 2021 to escape the hustle and bustle of London and appear to have fallen in love with country life ever since.
Jeremy, 62, has gushed about Lisa's enthusiasm for agriculture in the past, revealing that the former model is not afraid to get her hands dirty with manual labour.
"Nobody would ever call Lisa down to earth but if you had seen her yesterday," he said. "It was absolutely sluicing it down, and blowing such a gale and my tractor, which is not small, was being buffeted by the winds. The two of us were out, making this fence on the highest part of the bleakest, most wind-set part of the farm."
