Our Very Own Donkeys

September 9, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

I am sure you know now that my husband and I are very spontaneous We hardly ever plan anything. Things usually just happen around here and, while we are a lethal combination together (especially where animals buying is concerned) it does work and we do laugh about it.

We love picnics. There is something to be said for relaxing on the floor-totally at one with nature, enjoying a shared meal with family and friends.

Joining the National Trust

April 12, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy 3 Comments

If you had asked me in my teens and early twenties what I thought being middle aged was, I would have probably said owning a chest freezer, driving a family car and being members of the National Trust.

Farm Wedding Theme Ideas

May 29, 2018 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

When we got married, I didn’t go totally farm-themed for the celebrations. I think if we got married again, I would definitely choose more farm inspired things to decorate our day. Our tables were named after cow breeds as, at the time, my husband farmed beef. The top table was Aberdeen Angus. I suppose if … [Read more…]

When you live on the farm, the farm is never far away. I know that probably sounds obvious but, for the children, even when the are in the house, there are tractors driving fast the window, chickens escaping into the garden or the drive and sheep bleating if the windows are open in summer.
