Find about our life on the farm
We have a funny relationship, Hubster and I. We do row sometimes and, if we do, I like to take my revenge. I know, I know but it is only in small ways and it makes me feel better. Especially because I am obviously, always right. Recently he asked me how I choose which eggs … [Read more…]
As it is November now, I can officially mention the ‘C’ word. Who am I kidding? I have been dreaming of Christmas since the end of August and I have winter scented candles all year round. I love looking for quirky country gifts at Christmas-both for myself and for other people and, if that means … [Read more…]
When G was much smaller, I wrote a blog post called Our 5 Favourite Farm Books for Babies. I stand by all of my choices but, with the baby books being passed on to Baby J, I thought it was time to update our list with books for toddlers. I asked on my blog Facebook … [Read more…]
When I first came across the book, Farmer Christmas, I am not going to lie, I squealed with delight. We love Christmas here at the farm and books too so Christmas-themed books are always a winner. All of the children love farms and tractors. I know the baby is only seven months old but he … [Read more…]
Ever since I was a little girl, I have enjoyed making lists. From Christmas lists out of the Argos catalogue to lists from the Next Directory when I was a teenager-picking out the clothes I wanted for that season. The clothes lists were legendary. I added the prices on and they regularly came to over … [Read more…]
Getting your children to eat enough healthy and nutritious food is, in my opinion, one of the most important thing you can do as a parent. I am currently experiencing what can only be described as hell two different ends of the scale. On one side, with the baby, I am embarking on my favourite … [Read more…]
We first thought about moving to the farm in early 2012. Hubster’s father had passed away and, with the cattle, it was safer for us to be on site. We originally thought we would build a small bungalow at the farm for us to live in but, with it being classed as greenbelt, the council … [Read more…]
I have always loved knitted things and, being the wife of a sheep farmer, I feel like loving wool is, in some way, helping the industry. I am a member of a farming Facebook group called Ladies in Livestock and, earlier in the year, just as I had given birth to Baby J, I spotted … [Read more…]
Hens are amazing and funny creatures and, in my five years of keeping them, they have provided me with no end of amusement and entertainment. I have decided to write a bit of a guide to tell everyone about some things, you may not realise about our little, feathered friends. A chick takes about 21 … [Read more…]
It seems I can’t just go and get a new animal. Something always happens. I should know better by now. Free to a good home or too good to be true, never ends well with me. I love Peking chickens. They are so small and fluffy but adults can be expensive to buy and start … [Read more…]
