Find about our life on the farm
On the ‘about me’ page of the blog, it says: “Strange things happen to me a lot of the time. Sometimes my fault, sometimes not.” This sentence was ringing in my ears yesterday. It was a rainy day in the school holidays. Where would you take the kids? Soft play? The cinema? Well, for a…
We’ve lived at the farm for a few years now and I thought it was about time I shared with you my not-so clever business ideas. There’s been a few. I had a dream of entrepreneurship where I would build a little shed near the house in which to make my million. The problem was,…
I love this time of year on the farm. The air is filled with excitement and adrenalin when we are lambing. Expectation and the sounds of newborn lambs bleating fills the air. If you follow me on social media, you won’t have failed to notice we are lambing. Since my last post, after reading…
Lambing has started and we are all excited (for now) about it. There is a period of about two weeks before it begins when we are all on high alert. Sometimes worrying about it. Sometimes excited about it but it is just nervousness, waiting for it to happen. Here are my five ways you know…
After our Botched Christmas photo shoot, I almost didn’t even bother with Easter. Thankfully I did because my goodness, I got some crackers (pardon the pun). I particularly like this one above-look at G’s hand on the chick. Boo’s school hatched some eggs and I propelled myself forward to rehome them (I am sure I…

Easter is all about new life, renewal and re-birth. What other place on earth could you get that every day than on a farm? So here are my five things I love about Easter on the farm. 1.Chicks. We usually hatch chicks around this time of year. We didn’t last year because the baby was…
Our house is a cross between Pets at Home and Toys R Us at the moment, what with children and dogs. I wrote a post a while back about 5 reasons dogs are like babies and, after the puppies, I can vouch that it is all true. Thankfully, unlike babies, you don’t need all of…
Easter and Spring are my favourite times of year. I especially like all of the Easter bunnies, chicks and lambs available to buy in the shops. Quite often, I buy in loads of Easter-themed napkins and other items in the sale because, quite frankly, on a farm, Easter theme goes all year round. I have never…
Since my last post about getting our little Norfolk terrier puppy, Ruby, things have changed around here quite a bit. Originally when we had gone to get Ruby, I had my eye on her sister too. I asked Hubster for them both which he said no to but, I winked at the owner and said…
