Siblings, August 2020

August 18, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I am a couple of days late with this month’s Siblings post because, quite frankly, I don’t know where the time has gone. We are still at home on the farm but we did manage a trip out this month to Kenyon Hall Farm for our annual fruit picking. This year we picked strawberries from … [Read more…]

Baklava Inspired Pastel de Nata

August 8, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

  The farmer is a huge custard tart fan-specially pastel de nata and I love baklava so I decided to combine the two in this recipe. Rather than using puff pastry, I brushed melted butter and honey on the filo layers and then poured in the custard when it was cool.  It’s a great way … [Read more…]

Summer In The Farm Garden

August 5, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

My last post about the garden was in early spring and I cannot believe how bare it looked back then. We had been in lockdown for around two weeks then and a lot of time has been spent in our growing area since then. More raised beds were added and I planted things in anything … [Read more…]

Remember the Farming Heroes of Covid-19

July 28, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

During the peak of Covid-19 in the UK, the news mainly focussed on farming with headlines about dairy farmers dumping massive quantities of milk, empty supermarket shelves and vegetable crops rotting in fields. While all of these things happened, there are a few areas of British agriculture which thrived and I think they deserve recognition … [Read more…]

Farm Life, July 2020

July 22, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

As predicted, July on the farm has been mainly abut field work. It’s not been cut and dry though, literally. You need a good dry period with hot sunshine to make hay and the sun, when it does make an appearance, doesn’t seem to be very hot. Nevertheless, hay and haylage has been made and … [Read more…]

Siblings, July 2020

July 16, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Another month of lockdown at the farm and we are still all happy, I think. I seem to have taken more photos of the boys this month. My daughter prefers a quiet life sometimes away from her rowdy brothers and she has had a couple of settling days in school to prepare her for her … [Read more…]

Farm Life, June 2020

June 24, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Wow what a month on the farm. If you remember in the May Farm Life, I said we had finished lambing and I was very pleased with my one Ryeland lamb. Well, nature has a habit of surprising you and imagine how surprised I was when the farmer beckoned me to the front field one … [Read more…]
