Farm Life, April 2020

April 20, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

The first lamb was born at the farm just a couple of days after the March Farm Life post and I have never been so thankful for the normality of lambing. They came in dribs and drabs and then thick and fast and it has slowed down again now. We still don’t have any Ryeland … [Read more…]

April 17, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

A year ago, the children and I were invited to an Easter egg hunt at our nearest National Trust property, Dunham Massey.

Siblings, April 2020

April 15, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

At the end of last month’s Siblings post, I said we had lambing preparation and Easter to look forward to and, while lambing has been much the same as other years (apart from visitors), the lives of mine and most other children have been turned upside down in the last month. No school, no swimming … [Read more…]

Farm Life, March 2020

March 21, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I seem to have taken hundreds of photos of hens this month. I have a few fancy ones and their hilarious bouffants amuse me every time I see them. Photographing them though seems to be harder than it looks and I was happy with one photo until I went back and I had chopped the … [Read more…]

You can’t go wrong with farm toys here, so when Schleich got in touch for us to have a play with a selection of their Farm World toys, how could we refuse? We are already well acquainted with Schleich because of their large range of realistic farm animals (where else would you find a pygmy … [Read more…]

Chihuahuas Are Just Like Marmite

March 11, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

We have almost had Baby Bell for six months now. From the teenie tiny guinea pig sized puppy, she has grown quite considerably but she is still small.
