Find about our life on the farm
So following on from my last entry about Harringtons, the natural choice in pet food, I received some exciting news. Whether the lovely people at Harringtons loved the review or they just felt sorry for the many, many animal mouths we have to feed, a second delivery of pet food arrived. This time for the … [Read more…]
Living on a farm, we have a LOT of animals. From the livestock to our long list of pets, we are always buying animal feed. So when the lovely people at Harringtons, the natural choice, offered me the chance to review some dog food, I jumped at the chance. My first tester was Rosie our … [Read more…]
Dear Mr Fox, You have visited us too many times over the past few years. We have spent hundreds of pounds on birds that have either ended up in your horrible stomach or left dead in the coop and the field. I have cried many, many tears over the carnage you have left and … [Read more…]
A lot of people ask me what it’s like to be a farmer’s wife. It is a very different life to what I was used to before. I can’t speak for all farmer’s wives as I suppose everyone is different but I thought I’d explain what happens in our world. My husband gets up and … [Read more…]

I’ve seen a few bloggers having a go at this so I thought I would have a go. This is the A-Z of me. It’s not a comprehensive list but a little snapshot. A is for animals. I have always loved them. We have LOADS. Cows, sheep, dogs, chickens, cats, rabbits and a fish. B … [Read more…]
After my last pet buying post, I thought writing it down on my blog (http://farmerswifeandmummy.wordpress.com/2013/09/29/impulsive-pet-buying-again/) may have cured me. Wrong. It didn’t.
