May 18, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

We have an abundance of birds at the farm. Swallows and lapwings are the most welcome as they signify different times of the year. We must have a robin nest somewhere as there is one or two who frequent our garden and we have bird feeders positioned on trees in front of our window so … [Read more…]

Our Very Own Compost Heap

May 8, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I have thought about composting for a while on the farm. Knowing very little about it (apart from what could go in it), I started off last year with an old oil drum. I threw in the odd bit of food waste-vegetable peelings and that kind of thing and then mainly used it as a … [Read more…]

Farm Life, April 2020

April 20, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

The first lamb was born at the farm just a couple of days after the March Farm Life post and I have never been so thankful for the normality of lambing. They came in dribs and drabs and then thick and fast and it has slowed down again now. We still don’t have any Ryeland … [Read more…]

Farm Life, March 2020

March 21, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I seem to have taken hundreds of photos of hens this month. I have a few fancy ones and their hilarious bouffants amuse me every time I see them. Photographing them though seems to be harder than it looks and I was happy with one photo until I went back and I had chopped the … [Read more…]

Schleich Farm World Toys-A Review

March 19, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

You can’t go wrong with farm toys here, so when Schleich got in touch for us to have a play with a selection of their Farm World toys, how could we refuse? We are already well acquainted with Schleich because of their large range of realistic farm animals (where else would you find a pygmy … [Read more…]

Farm Life, February 2020

February 22, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I won’t going to write a Farm Life post this month as I didn’t think much had happened. Then, as usual, I looked back at the photos and changed my mind. For months, I had wondered if Sponge, the last of my female pygmy goats was pregnant. I was beginning to think she wasn’t and … [Read more…]
