In the Summer, I got to visit a turkey farm in Lymm, Cheshire. You can read about it here. The lovely Paul from Crouchley Hall Farm, invited me back this week to see how the birds were getting on. This is how they looked in July. This is them now. My how they’ve grown. Since…
I heard on the news that, here in the UK, our internet browsing history is going to be kept on file for years. I am not really bothered about the details surrounding this. I have nothing to hide and yes, I suppose it is an infringement on my privacy but if MI5 and the…
I have noticed a few problems with blogs and bloggers recently. Both between them and PR’s as well as bloggers and companies directly. Most of it has been due to a lack of communication. Some have been due to unrealistic expectations on either or both sides. Some has been a sincere lack of knowledge of…
Living on a farm, we know more than most people about keeping babies and children warm in the winter months. Babies especially can get really cold sat in a pram or pushchair but even Boo, running around gets cold so we need warm layers, thick waterproofs and good footwear. They have to look stylish too…

Thankfully, Shoetique who sell a whole host of gorgeous foorwear including wellies have got you and your little bears covered with their new competition. To celebrate the…
Dear Pampers, I know it is not a new story that you have switched to plastic bags for your nappies rather than cardboard boxes but the impact of the change has only just become apparent to me. I know you did it for environmental purposes and really your should be applauded, you really should. However…
Since our eight month update, we have had the worst teething month to date yet no more teeth. Think little sleep and the most pain yet-even though he got through the four cutting together fine. His crawling is amazing. He is so quick and into everything. We are slowly accepting that Baby G is…
We did our pumpkin carving last week to coincide with a school competition which we didn’t win. I was so, hopeful until I saw the other entrants. Wow. Put it this way, I will be doing my pumpkin carving homework until next year.* One thing which did turn out though was what I used the…
