I’m sure you know by now that nothing goes quite right here. I wouldn’t go as far as saying everything goes wrong but sometimes it feels like it isn’t far off. I have always loved Cath Kidston. I love the florals very much but it is the farm inspired ranges that resonate the most with … [Read more…]
Every day is different at the farm and it is this which I really love about living here. A man has come metal detecting for years-long before I came here and I love listening to his stories of what he has found. Recently, he came and asked if he could look in the front field-the … [Read more…]
I toyed with calling this post ‘how to participate in Halloween when you have no neighbours’ because really, that is the reason for this activity. I don’t agree with trick or treating anyway so I decided this year to turn it on its head. If you can have an Easter egg hunt, why not a … [Read more…]
Have you ever seen a product that was so original that you wish that either you had thought of it or that you had found it years ago? Both of these things went through my mind when I found out about The Field. Launched in 2015 by Padraic Cuddy, it was inspired by his then … [Read more…]

With three children, we have been through our fair share of trikes and scooters. From the plastic to the novelty, we have tried them all. Except for Micro Scooter. We were recently sent a Micro Scooter Trike for the baby so I am sharing what we think about it. When the farmer saw the box, … [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…]
Farming inspired clothing with an Easer twist you say? How can I say no? The problem arises however with my love of twinning. I need unisex-ish clothing which comes in a wide spectrum of sizes. I have found it a struggle this year. The boys come under the same size bracket but I have found … [Read more…]
I am not one to keep secrets from my husband. I don’t think it promotes trusting relationships to omit the truth from your other half. When it comes to animals in general and obtaining animals in particular, there are things he just doesn’t need to know about. So my latest confession is this: I have … [Read more…]
