Book Review- Sheep in the Garden and Lambing Time from Green Wellies Publishing

We reviewed the Farmer in Training books last year which were Shearing Day and The Show. Well, the clever and talented Anwen Nichols and her illustrator Kenneth … [Read more…]

My Year In Books 2021

January 7, 2022 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I started off my reading year in 2021 with no pressure. I hardly read any books in 2020 due to home schooling and generally not really feeling like it. I had thought I had read 16 books in 2021 but my maths skill, being true to form, were mistaken so, as I collated the list … [Read more…]

Not Again, Ranunculus! By Kelly Taylor-Book Review

November 17, 2021 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I think it’s fair to say that most all goats are mischievous. We have kept pygmy goats and Boer goats at the farm and, not only do they escape from everywhere but they eat anything and everything. They are a joy though and it seems as though I am not the only one with naughty … [Read more…]

The Yorkshire Shepherdess-Amanda Owen on Tour

At the beginning of 2020 I booked front row tickets to see the Yorkshire shepherdess at my local theatre.  Then Covid happened and the May date was put back to November 2021.

At this time of year on the blog, I usually have a load of posts scheduled for publication. Reviews of the year, books I have read, a year on the farm. Since the pandemic hit in March though, I seem to have lost my mojo for everything. On the face of it, I should have … [Read more…]

When I write a blog post, I always hope it will be popular, that people will read it, enjoy reading it and possibly share it with their friends. However, if there is one thing I have learnt from writing a blog is that I never know if a post will be popular until I’ve sat … [Read more…]
