Farm Life May 2019

May 20, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

7 Fun Things You Can Do In a Field With Kids

May 6, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy 4 Comments

There is something so peaceful about an empty field. It’s like a blank canvas I suppose, full of surprises (hopefully) and possibilities. I know it probably seems easy for us living on the farm but most parks have large playing fields so if you don’t live on a farm, there is still plenty of opportunities … [Read more…]

April 29, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Some farmers shear the bottoms of their flocks (dagging) in Spring or before tupping (mating) but full shearing doesn’t usually happen until summer. There are some really woolly breeds however that really benefit from being shorn twice a year. Valais Black … [Read more…]

Farm Themed Ideas For Tuff Trays

April 24, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy 3 Comments

I bought our tuff spot a few years ago and it has been one of the best things I have ever bought. I bought it with a stand and I usually use it for the children in the garden when the weather is fine. We have had sand, water, shaving foam-basically a whole host of … [Read more…]
