New Year Farm life reflection

December 31, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

New year is a time to look back at the last year and look forward to the next. It is the same for everyone I suppose. A natural reflecting process. On a farm it is a case of taking stock of births and deaths but then I suppose other people do that too but hopefully … [Read more…]

You know it’s Christmas on the farm when…

December 20, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 18 Comments

You know it’s Christmas on the farm when:   You have the same conversation every year-should we buy a turkey from a shop or buy poults and rear our own? People ask you, in earnest, ‘do you still have to feed the cows/sheep/horses/pigs (delete as applicable) on Christmas Day? The farmer’s wife buys reindeer antlers for … [Read more…]

Merry Christmouse

November 26, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 3 Comments

So if you’ve read any of my previous posts, you will be aware we live on a farm (I suppose the name of my blog gives it away). Many people think this is some kind of idyll existence and, on many levels, it is. However there are drawbacks to rural, country living and one of … [Read more…]

A-Z of Me

November 24, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

I’ve seen a few bloggers having a go at this so I thought I would have a go. This is the A-Z of me. It’s not a comprehensive list but a little snapshot. A is for animals. I have always loved them. We have LOADS. Cows, sheep, dogs, chickens, cats, rabbits and a fish. B … [Read more…]

Petting Zoo update

November 20, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

    After my last pet buying post, I thought writing it down on my blog (http://farmerswifeandmummy.wordpress.com/2013/09/29/impulsive-pet-buying-again/) may have cured me. Wrong. It didn’t. I decided Clover the rabbit (named after the rabbit in Sophia the First) needed a friend. After days of researching on local pet shops and sites, I plumped for a two-year-old lop … [Read more…]

Wellie confessions

November 14, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 5 Comments

I have had to admit something to myself this week and it hurt. Fashion wellies do not mix with farms. We have lived at the farm for just over a year now and in that time I have been through four pairs of the fashionable type. Oh they were lovely. Pink glitter, polka dot, even … [Read more…]

Minty, my most un-farmer’s wife admission-don’t ring the RSPCA

November 2, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I don’t know if it is a gift. I am sure my husband would say it is a weakness. I can’t help falling for animals. Yes we live on a farm and despite once being vegetarian, I do accept that the business we are in is killing for food and I accept that. It puts … [Read more…]

What Would Katie Do?

October 12, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

(The amazing Katie)   Today I have come up with a new manta.   You know how some Christians ask What Would Jesus Do?   Well I’m trying What Would Katie Do?   You see my cousin in America is also a farmer’s wife. She has two children and a much larger farm yet has … [Read more…]

Impulsive pet buying (again)

September 29, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

I   I am one of those people who thinks about something and goes and does it. I get a bee in my bonnet and research quickly. It is on the verge of impulse buying. On Friday night I asked my husband if we could get a pig. He said no. Then it went to … [Read more…]

Spring has sprung

April 17, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Before we lived on the farm, it was easy to think of myself as a farmer’s wife but until you are actually there, you are not. Yes you are used to the unsociable hours, not being able to take holidays and washing clothes caked in anything from mud and muck to blood, but until you … [Read more…]
