Find about our life on the farm
Do you remember my last gardening post where I was impatient to grow my own? It was way back in February and two months on, it is amazing how things have changed. Not wanting to bore you when every little shoot that came up (I did do a little dance in the kitchen), I waited until … [Read more…]
I feel a little guilty. In the excitement last weekend of the new lambs, I forgot an important birthday. March 31st was Minty’s birthday. Minty is our pet lamb from last year. From the moment that four-legged-love entered our world, Boo and I loved him. He was so tiny and we didn’t think he would make … [Read more…]
My word of the week for this week is How could it not be? From the moment the first one was born last Saturday morning, it’s been a whirlwind at the farm. Hubster has been out at all hours day and night. We’ve only got one pet lamb (that we have to … [Read more…]
Today we have a guest blogger at Farmer’s Wife and Mummy. We are entering a competition with La Redoute to capture the secrets of French style. Given the fact that Boo, even at three, is much more stylish than me, I will hand over to her. I may only be three but, even in … [Read more…]
Do you remember the uproar not so long ago when a parent admitted they preferred one of their children over the other? Then some other parents jumped on the band wagon and said they felt the same.

So Rosie the dog has been under the weather since Sunday. She was still down this morning-not eating and lethargic but I thought she would last until tomorrow when I am off work. Hubster rang me at 8.15am and said she yelped when he picked her up. I panicked. We had to put Poppy, one … [Read more…]
The weather this week has been beautiful here at the farm. Cold and crisp but mostly dry with lots of sunshine-does that make me sound like a weather presenter? Anyway, dry weather means only one thing down on the farm. Outdoor play. I feel like we’ve had a very productive week. Mummy painted bunting on … [Read more…]
What do you think of when you think Farmer’s Wife? Go on, have a think. This is what I think. Rosy cheeks, a rather plump old-ish woman with tight curly hair.She is wearing a piny. She has rough hands and kneads bread. She churns butter, knits, feeds chickens, has a wicker basket for eggs. … [Read more…]
It’s a hard job this blogging malarky but someone’s got to do it. This week I have been sampling wine. Yes you read that right. I had been tasting wine, purely for blogging purposes. Now as we all know, things always taste better when they are free. My wine was not only free (thank you … [Read more…]
