Farm Life, September 2020

September 22, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Most months when I write the Farm life series, I write a similar thing ‘I didn’t think anything had happened until I looked back at the photos’. This month it is true. The farm has been quiet. Straw dragged on and on and on. It was the latest finish I have ever known. Since being … [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…]

8 Amazing Crafts You Can Do With Wool

January 16, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I am sure you know by now that I love wool. I love how versatile it is, the sheer amount of things you can do with it. It is cool in summer and warm in winter. It is the most natural of materials and is probably the only animal product (as well as dairy) which … [Read more…]

Farm Life, December 2019

December 12, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Another month and a whole year of farm life. December has brought a definite chill but still with the ever present addition of rain. The grass has stopped growing and the mud is as muddy as ever so natural forage is almost non existent. We moved the Ryeland sheep into another field which I filmed … [Read more…]

Farm Life, October 2019

October 21, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

It’s funny, each month as I start to think about what has happened to write my regular Farm Life piece, I always think nothing has happened. This month was no different. It has been dominated by one word though. Mud. There has been a lot of rain and it has turned most of the fields … [Read more…]
