The room which we currently use as a living room is a strange one. Once used to hang meat in many years ago, it has been referred to as a corridor by some people. It is long and thin. It originally had two small windows in it but, when we renovated the house one of … [Read more…]
I think most people have an animal that they have loved with all of there being. Whether it is a dog or cat, a horse or even a farm animal, there has got to be one that has infiltrated your soul. For me it is Rosie the dog but, (sorry Rosie) there have been others … [Read more…]
I have been following Maura McElhone for a while on Twitter and her blog, Falling for a Farmer and I love reading her blog posts. She has a lovely way with words and, when I found out she was having her first book published, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. Due to … [Read more…]
