Our No Waste Farm

November 20, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

One of the great things about having so many animals on the farm is that nothing gets wasted. Left over meat goes to the farm dogs and cats. Vegetable peelings go to the rabbits. This week however, I have been ashamed. My mum picked Boo up from nursery on Monday when I was at work … [Read more…]

A bit of sheep lovin’ down on the farm

November 8, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 6 Comments

I haven’t written about ‘proper’ farming for a while. I suppose #farmbaby2015 has overtaken what I’ve got to tell you about but that all changed yesterday as love was in the air at the farm. The rams went to spend a few months with the ewes (lady sheep) for love, companionship and maybe definitely more. … [Read more…]

Our Terrible Day

November 7, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 8 Comments

My word of the week this week is:   It is terrible because of one terrible day. Wednesday. They say bad luck comes in threes but it was four for me on Wednesday. Rosie, my beloved, love of my life dog was spayed. Not a big deal to most people but pregnancy hormones along with … [Read more…]

Our new teddy bear. Plus win your own

September 9, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 7 Comments

“A bear remains a bear – even when most of him has fallen off or worn away.” – Charlotte Gray   This quote is especially true of my loved, old, bear. Teddy bears are magical creatures who provide as much love as they are loved in return. When the lovely people at What the Blazers … [Read more…]

Our beloved Minty is 1

April 5, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

I feel a little guilty. In the excitement last weekend of the new lambs, I forgot an important birthday. March 31st was Minty’s birthday. Minty is our pet lamb from last year. From the moment that four-legged-love entered our world, Boo and I loved him. He was so tiny and we didn’t think he would make … [Read more…]

Naughty farmer’s wife favouring some animals over others

March 26, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 3 Comments

Do you remember the uproar not so long ago when a parent admitted they preferred one of their children over the other? Then some other parents jumped on the band wagon and said they felt the same. Well as a farmer’s wife, I feel I should love all of the animals equally but, like those … [Read more…]

#100HappyDays a blessing or a curse?

January 30, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 9 Comments

Is it just me or is anyone else struggling with #100HappyDays? If you’ve not heard of it, you have to post a photo of something that makes you happy every day for 100 days to a social media outlet like Twitter, Pinterest or Facebook. I thought it was a lovely idea and it is, however … [Read more…]

You know it’s Christmas on the farm when…

December 20, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 18 Comments

You know it’s Christmas on the farm when:   You have the same conversation every year-should we buy a turkey from a shop or buy poults and rear our own? People ask you, in earnest, ‘do you still have to feed the cows/sheep/horses/pigs (delete as applicable) on Christmas Day? The farmer’s wife buys reindeer antlers for … [Read more…]

Minty, my most un-farmer’s wife admission-don’t ring the RSPCA

November 2, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I don’t know if it is a gift. I am sure my husband would say it is a weakness. I can’t help falling for animals. Yes we live on a farm and despite once being vegetarian, I do accept that the business we are in is killing for food and I accept that. It puts … [Read more…]
