Home cooked recipes from a Farmhouse kitchen
We love milk. Our farm used to be a dairy farm, many years ago and my husband and his family worked so hard, milking twice a day. The dairy cows had long gone when I arrived but the family’s love of milk was infectious and both myself and the children enjoy the white stuff throughout … [Read more…]
Recently we were on the motorway. I can’t even remember where we were going but we saw a transporter carrying cattle.
