Our life with our toddler
This linky is for bloggers who have been blogging for a year or less. It’s your chance to link up your favourite post of the week. It’s a great way to find new blogs to read and to raise your blogs profile. Binky is the American term for a dummy which babies obviously use. I…
We visited Red Bank Farm this weekend in Newton-le-Willows. It was open for this year’s Open Farm Sunday and, we had a great time. Yes it was a bit of a busman’s holiday but, seeing as Hubster won’t open our doors, it was great to see other farmer’s doing well for themselves. I haven’t been…
We were recently invited to make a personalised book with Penwizard. Now, I have had experience with Penwizard before. Long before Boo, I bought a personalised Christmas book for an old neighbour’s little girl but, for one reason or another, I hadn’t got round to getting Boo one. The designing the book on their easy-to-follow…
I love Kirstie Allsopp. I enjoy watching Location Location Location but more so her Homemade Home but her recent comments on fertility made me think. If I’d had a child with the person I was with when I was 25, how different would my life be? Well, said child would now be nine. I would be…
Sheep shearing. My favourite day of the farming year. It s also one of the most tiring but it is such an exciting day and, with Boo being a bit older, it is the first we have fully taken part in. It began the night before as I prepared bread rolls (barm cakes if you’re…
As soon as I found out Sooty was touring, I booked tickets. We are such big fans of him, I just couldn’t miss it. I booked the tickets back in December and managed to get us front row seats. I always loved Sooty when I was young and my mum took me to see him…
As the weather was so nice last week, Boo and I decided to go for a walk across the fields. I ashamedly, hadn’t walked over there for years. I suppose before, I would have had to take the pram which, if anyone has tried to push a (non-off-road) pram over fields will agree, it is…
My Word of the Week this week is…. Despite the weather here turning to rain, the last week has been glorious. We’ve been able to play outside every day. We’ve eaten our breakfast outside. Played outside. Had the bunny babies out and taken mean photos of them in baskets and on the washing line. Boo…
I know you’ll all probably hate me for this post. Half term isn’t even here yet but I’m asking you to check your diaries for June 8th. You see it is a subject pretty close to my heart. June 8th is Open Farm Sunday. It is a day where ordinary people who may have never…
My dearest friend, the afternoon nap. We’ve been together for such a long time. Best friends in fact since we fell out with your cousin, the morning nap about two years ago. We’ve spent three years adhering to your stringent rules. It is with regret that we must part company. It’s not you, it’s me….
