My friend introduced me to this diet over ten years ago. In my 20s it was a great way to kick-start my dieting if I had hit a plateaux in weight loss. The diet claims you can lose up to ten pounds in the three days. I only lost ten pounds the first time I…
So following on from my last entry about Harringtons, the natural choice in pet food, I received some exciting news. Whether the lovely people at Harringtons loved the review or they just felt sorry for the many, many animal mouths we have to feed, a second delivery of pet food arrived. This time for the…
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…
Living on a farm, we have a LOT of animals. From the livestock to our long list of pets, we are always buying animal feed. So when the lovely people at Harringtons, the natural choice, offered me the chance to review some dog food, I jumped at the chance. My first tester was Rosie our…

I suppose Woolworths was one of the first big names in the British retail industry to go and a large number of others have followed. These big high street names just can’t compete with online shopping and, the ever-encroaching…
A lot of people ask me what it’s like to be a farmer’s wife. It is a very different life to what I was used to before. I can’t speak for all farmer’s wives as I suppose everyone is different but I thought I’d explain what happens in our world. My husband gets up and…
All children develop at different times. I remember stressing over my daughter crawling and walking. As a shoe-fanatic myself, I was simply dying to get Boo her first pair of shoes. Fast forward over a year and boy am I regretting being so eager. As she was a late walker however, I have faired better…
I am ashamed to say that I watched Celebrity Big Brother last night. It was on Channel 5 at 9pm-prime time viewing for older children and all I can say is, I am glad that my child is too young to watch it. Three of the contestants-one man and two women were cavorting in a…
