Our guide to the secrets of style

March 31, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 6 Comments

Today we have a guest blogger at Farmer’s Wife and Mummy. We are entering a competition with La Redoute to capture the secrets of French style. Given the fact that Boo, even at three, is much more stylish than me, I will hand over to her.   I may only be three but, even in … [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…]

The spirituality of trees

March 22, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 7 Comments

There’s something very spiritual about trees. When they’re really big I wonder how old they are and how long they’ve been standing there. What have they seen, as it were. We’ve got loads of beautiful old trees at the farm. There is even one with writing carved into it. There are fruit tress and oak. … [Read more…]

Rosie- My Doggie soul-mate

March 18, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

So Rosie the dog has been under the weather since Sunday. She was still down this morning-not eating and lethargic but I thought she would last until tomorrow when I am off work. Hubster rang me at 8.15am and said she yelped when he picked her up. I panicked. We had to put Poppy, one … [Read more…]

Spring is coming and we’ve been outside

February 28, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 3 Comments

The weather this week has been beautiful here at the farm. Cold and crisp but mostly dry with lots of sunshine-does that make me sound like a weather presenter? Anyway, dry weather means only one thing down on the farm. Outdoor play. I feel like we’ve had a very productive week. Mummy painted bunting on … [Read more…]

Let’s raise a glass and go bananas for Fairtrade Fortnight

February 23, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 14 Comments

It’s a hard job this blogging malarky but someone’s got to do it. This week I have been sampling wine. Yes you read that right. I had been tasting wine, purely for blogging purposes. Now as we all know, things always taste better when they are free. My wine was not only free (thank you … [Read more…]

The miracle of the walking-dead chicken. Yes, really.

February 22, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 7 Comments

  I cannot believe what has happened. You know how I told you in my previous post that Cookie had more or less been pecked to death, was left with only one eye one eye and that she had subsequently died? Well, there were five of these Old English Game bantams living in the tree. … [Read more…]

Welcoming our new hens for their fresh start in life

February 22, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

Last Saturday I wrote about how Freshstart for Hens works and what happens to chickens who are farmed intensively for eggs. (See http://farmerswifeandmummy.com/2014/02/15/giving-ex-commercial-hens-a-fresh-start/) This week was the exciting bit. I have just got back from picking up our ten ladies who have come to live with us. The lovely Kerry whose house was used for … [Read more…]

Bunny babies and Silkies

February 20, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 9 Comments

  I feel as if I haven’t updated you on the petting zoo recently and it’s moved up a gear in the last couple of weeks. I can just smell spring and spring to me means babies. The sheep are fattening up ready to produce little lambs (just for me) and, after several weeks of … [Read more…]
