I have had some really popular blog posts this year. There are still some from other years which produce a lot of traffic but you know I love writing so I thought it only right that I share my most popular posts of the year. My monthly Women on Farming feature has been very well … [Read more…]
Life is hectic, especially at this time of year. I think most people have perfection issues at Christmas. I suppose Insta-ready Christmas photos are to blame along with glossy magazines that show all the good stuff and none of the bad. The way I try to see it is, my children are young and they … [Read more…]
Is there any clothing label more country than Rydale? Whether you need clothing for horse riding or the farm, this British company is synonymous with style and wearability. Founded in Yorkshire in the 1950, Rydale now designs and manufactures clothes to meet the needs of both town and country folk and is a regular sight … [Read more…]
The winter is now fully with us in all its glory. Frosty, crisp mornings are now the norm. So, today, I thought it was the perfect time to talk about men’s winter clothing.

It’s been full on Christmassing since the last siblings post which makes me laugh because actual Christmas Day won’t be documented on here until the January post.
