October 31, 2017 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

When G was much smaller, I wrote a blog post called Our 5 Favourite Farm Books for Babies. I stand by all of my choices but, with the baby books being passed on to Baby J, I thought it was time to update our list with books for toddlers. I asked on my blog Facebook … [Read more…]

Meeting My Idol-Margaret Atwood

March 31, 2017 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

I actually feel lucky to be writing this blog post. I met my idol. Idol is possibly not the right word. I am almost certain the lady I speak of would hate to be called an idol. Icon, possibly. Hero, more likely. Whatever she is, she is greatly admired by me. I first encountered Margaret … [Read more…]

Book Nook February 2017

February 16, 2017 by farmerswifeandmummy 5 Comments

With Valentine’s Day in February, I thought love could be the theme of our Book Nook this month. In true style though, G had other ideas and his favourite title has been 123 Farm by Rod Campbell which has been carried around everywhere. He loves farm books so I think the love theme has been … [Read more…]

Another month of books has passed us by and what brilliant stories we have been reading. All the Christmas books are packed away for another year and, as predicted, both children got some brilliant titles as gifts.

Our Book Nook-December 2016

So it’s December and Christmas is so close I can smell it. Although that could well be my scented candles. So this is a special festive book nook with some of our favourite Christmas inspired books.

Discover the Real Meaning of Christmas with Books from Lion Hudson Children’s

December 4, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

I love Christmas books for my children and while Father Christmas and Snowmen firmly have their places in our collection, I also like a few books about the real meaning of Christmas. Boo leans about the Nativity at school and I think it would be unfair to not reflect our faith at home. Lion Children’s … [Read more…]

Our Reading Nook

November 4, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

We love books. My degree is in English Literature and, sleep permitting, I still love good book. It may seem pretentious but for me, passing on a love of books to my children is as important as teaching them to brush their teeth and eat healthily. Thankfully neither of them take much persuading. We have … [Read more…]

Hens, Hooves, Woollies and Wellies, The Diary of a Farmer’s Wife-A Review

October 28, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 3 Comments

After reading the Yorkshire Shepherdess’s two books, it seems I have developed a new love of reading about the lives of other women in farming. What can I say? It gives me a break from Tudor history-altough I have just finished Philippa Gregory’s Three Sisters Three Queens. I digress. I saw that Farmer’s Weekly columnist, … [Read more…]

August 26, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

Recently, we got sent a lovely children’s book and I have a confession to make. I read the first chapter to Boo and G at bedtime and it was so good that I whisked it downstairs after bedtime and read the rest in one sitting. You see, The Magical Adventure of Little Alf-The Discovery of … [Read more…]
