It is actually raining here today but it has been unseasonably hot here recently-even for summer. I therefore decided to come up with five ways of keeping animals-of all varieties cool in hot weather. 1.Water. It may seem obvious but while I am sure everyone makes sure their animals have water, it is important to … [Read more…]
The last couple of months, I have launched a little campaign with Hubster. Known in undercover circles as Operation Goat. He was not convinced. Then our trip to the Cheshire Show happened and I think he was surprised how small they were. So Operation Goat stepped up a gear. I sent him picture messages of … [Read more…]
When you live on a farm, it is a constant battle to keep the floors clean. Thankfully, in our downstairs which houses our kitchen/diner, it is all tiled. That is not to say I could sweep it 16 times a day and it would still need more. You would think though with our living area … [Read more…]

Sometimes excited about it but it is just nervousness, waiting for it to happen. Here are my five ways you know … [Read more…]
Our house is a cross between Pets at Home and Toys R Us at the moment, what with children and dogs. I wrote a post a while back about 5 reasons dogs are like babies and, after the puppies, I can vouch that it is all true. Thankfully, unlike babies, you don’t need all of … [Read more…]
We were recently sent some lovely socks from Little Grippers to try. Each child got a pair of lovely wellie socks which are the best present for my little farmers. G also received a pair of normal Little Grippers socks. If you have never heard of Little Grippers socks have “Stay On Technology” is a … [Read more…]
Since my last post about getting our little Norfolk terrier puppy, Ruby, things have changed around here quite a bit. Originally when we had gone to get Ruby, I had my eye on her sister too. I asked Hubster for them both which he said no to but, I winked at the owner and said … [Read more…]
