I’m sure you know by now that nothing goes quite right here. I wouldn’t go as far as saying everything goes wrong but sometimes it feels like it isn’t far off. I have always loved Cath Kidston. I love the florals very much but it is the farm inspired ranges that resonate the most with…
For every one person buying gifts, probably on behalf of children, there is probably another five who will only remember at the eleventh hour when the shops have closed. Fear not, just because you have forgotten someone’s birthday or that it is Mother or Father’s Day, doesn’t mean the recipient will be left empty handed….
No one ever said that farming with children is easy. One of the most common questions people ask me is how I manage it with small children. It honestly takes a while. You can’t just nip out and feed something with two mini farmers who take their animal keeping very seriously. (My eldest is easy…
Since my last update on starting my own vegetable patch, there have been a lot of changes. As well as dreaming of growing my own veg, I have also been dreaming of more animals and, as that dream was realised with the alpacas, I had to rethink a few things. Since the fox attack on…
I have wanted new animals for ages. After the pig debacle (they were bit vicious and wild), the farmer said it was a strictly grazing-only-animal farm.

What a month is has been on the farm. From Fool’s Spring at the start, turning to the wettest, stormiest weather we have had in ages. Thankfully, I feel the page has at last turned from winter to the shiny new page of spring and we have all breathed a little sigh of relief. As…
What a busy month it has been for the siblings. Half term was a lovely week and the Fool’s Spring definitely fell at the right time. My three amigos were outside for most of the time and even enjoyed a few al fresco meals-granted wearing coats but still novel for February. We went to a…
Don’t you love a sun-filled summer getaway to Spain? It’s become one of the most popular countries for holidaymakers in recent years, and with its glorious weather, stretches of golden sand, and bustling resorts, it’s easy to see why. One must-visit area is the country’s stunning Costa Blanca. From its 200 kilometres of captivating coastline…
I love the auction. If you have ever done live bidding on eBay, you know that feeling of adrenaline in the pit of your stomach. The livestock auction is just like that but better. I have watched the farmer bidding on things and he is so cool when he does it. Just a little…
