We love being outside. The younger two especially start climbing the walls (literally) if they are indoors too much. Obviously living on a farm helps but I think once the fresh air has entered the souls of children, it is hard to get out and, to be honest, I don’t think I would want to. … [Read more…]
We love milk. Our farm used to be a dairy farm, many years ago and my husband and his family worked so hard, milking twice a day. The dairy cows had long gone when I arrived but the family’s love of milk was infectious and both myself and the children enjoy the white stuff throughout … [Read more…]
Summer is here and the weather seems to be playing ball so far. What better excuse do you need for getting out in the big outdoors and experience the countryside? I have come up with ten things you can do in the countryside this year. I don’t want the ideas to be used solely for … [Read more…]
When we got married, I didn’t go totally farm-themed for the celebrations. I think if we got married again, I would definitely choose more farm inspired things to decorate our day. Our tables were named after cow breeds as, at the time, my husband farmed beef. The top table was Aberdeen Angus. I suppose if … [Read more…]

Not least for my dinosaur-mad three year old who refers to Bents as Dinosaur Lands which I love. At just three miles away from the farm, it really is on our … [Read more…]
It’s been a month of big changes with the siblings this time. G has started nursery and Boo has moved schools. They have both taken it very well and it makes me ever so proud of them-Boo especially. This has meant that the baby has three hours a day when he is not having toys … [Read more…]
We’ve been a family of five for over a year now and I am not going to lie, at times it is crazy. Meal times are interesting. Getting everyone dressed is some kind of Olympic sport and hardly anything comes in packs of five. I love it though and, while I am by no means … [Read more…]
I am sure you all know how much I love blogging. It is my therapy. My creative outlet and a way to keep my hand in writing while my children are young. I like to champion the countryside and farming in my writing and all of the amazing people who contribute to making the community … [Read more…]
