Bents Garden and Home opened their nine hole Jurassic Cove Adventure Golf in 2017 and it has become a firm favourite with my family. Not least for my dinosaur-mad three year old who refers to Bents as Dinosaur Lands which I love. At just three miles away from the farm, it really is on our…
It’s been a month of big changes with the siblings this time. G has started nursery and Boo has moved schools. They have both taken it very well and it makes me ever so proud of them-Boo especially. This has meant that the baby has three hours a day when he is not having toys…
We’ve been a family of five for over a year now and I am not going to lie, at times it is crazy. Meal times are interesting. Getting everyone dressed is some kind of Olympic sport and hardly anything comes in packs of five. I love it though and, while I am by no means…
I am sure you all know how much I love blogging. It is my therapy. My creative outlet and a way to keep my hand in writing while my children are young. I like to champion the countryside and farming in my writing and all of the amazing people who contribute to making the community…

April marks by blog anniversary. I’ve never really thought about it before but this year, I have been blogging for five years. It all began when I was working at the newspaper and a lady I regularly spoke to on the phone at work suggested I should start a blog because of all of the…
We are over a year into our family being a five-some. In two years, my eldest went from being an only child for the first four years of her life to having two little brothers. The farmer is one of four but I am an only child and I was determined that I wanted a…
With today’s busy lives, there can be so much going on that you quickly run out of time to do anything as a family. In some cases, you might not even see each other for more than a few minutes a day. Family time is vital, so it’s important that you try to cultivate time…
