New Life, New Lambs and a New Video

March 31, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

  I love this time of year on the farm. The air is filled with excitement and adrenalin when we are lambing. Expectation and the sounds of newborn lambs bleating fills the air. If you follow me on social media, you won’t have failed to notice we are lambing. Since my last post, after reading … [Read more…]

Italian Inspired Farmer’s Pie Recipe

March 30, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

  Hubster and I love shepherd’s pie. The children are not so keen so I have been thinking of ways to make it more appealing. They love spaghetti and a meaty ragu sauce and they love pizza so I came up with a dish combining all three. Now I am not going to get into … [Read more…]

Our Easter Photo Shoot

March 27, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

After our Botched Christmas photo shoot, I almost didn’t even bother with Easter. Thankfully I did because my goodness, I got some crackers (pardon the pun). I particularly like this one above-look at G’s hand on the chick. Boo’s school hatched some eggs and I propelled myself forward to rehome them (I am sure I … [Read more…]

The Yorkshire Shepherdess-Farming Role Models for Women

March 26, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I’m suffering from a serious case of book hang over. I love books but, what with the children, the farm and the blog, my book repertoire is more The Magic Porridge Pot and Biff, Chip and Kipper than then top ten best sellers. In fact I haven’t managed to read a whole book myself since … [Read more…]

Spread Oats at Chelsea Flower Show with Mornflake and Win

March 17, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

We have always enjoyed Mornflake oats as a family but, since a visit to one of their oat fields and their factory last summer, I feel like I really am invested with them. They too are a Cheshire business and, we Cheshire businesses need to stick together-especially where farming is concerned. Indeed, two of Cheshire’s … [Read more…]

Farm Themed Easter Gifts for Children

March 12, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

Easter and Spring are my favourite times of year. I especially like all of the Easter bunnies, chicks and lambs available to buy in the shops. Quite often, I buy in loads of Easter-themed napkins and other items in the sale because, quite frankly, on a farm, Easter theme goes all year round. I have never … [Read more…]

British Breakfast Pie Recipe

March 8, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

This week is British Pie Week and, as a Brit (from Wigan, the capital of pies), I really think this is a dish we should celebrate for its uniqueness. Other cultures and cuisines have their own varieties-think samosas and empanadas but there is something about the great British pie that just makes you feel all … [Read more…]
