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. Indeed I think I offended an older work colleague once when I joked ‘you’ll be National Trust … [Read more…]

Are There Any Good Non-Electronic Gifts for Tweens?

November 27, 2018 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Buying presents for tweens can be difficult, as they’re in that age bracket where you should still buy them a present before it becomes acceptable to just put a note in a card. It’s all too easy to fall into the trap of just getting them the latest video game or some other electronic device. … [Read more…]

Bowling at Tenpin Warrington- A Review

August 2, 2018 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Finding activities for your children during the school holidays is never easy. For some reason, bowling has never really entered my mind. I suppose I thought they were a bit young. When Tenpin got in touch to attend the launch of their new bowling alley in Warrington though, I thought why not. It is not … [Read more…]

Jurassic Cove Crazy Golf at Bents

May 18, 2018 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

Bents Garden and Home opened their nine hole Jurassic Cove Adventure Golf in 2017 and it has become a firm favourite with my family. Not least for my dinosaur-mad three year old who refers to Bents as Dinosaur Lands which I love. At just three miles away from the farm, it really is on our … [Read more…]

My 10 Favourite Places to go in Liverpool

February 8, 2018 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I love Liverpool. Many years ago, before children, farmers and farms, I worked there and I loved every minute, spending time in the city. Mann Island at the Pier Head is no longer there but I loved seeing the River Mersey and looking out into the estuary every day. Since then, the city centre has … [Read more…]

Five Dinosaur Attractions in the North West of England

August 1, 2017 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

We are currently the owners of one dinosaur-mad toddler. This child lives and breathes prehistoric with books, toys and endless viewing of Andy’s Prehistoric Adventures. I therefore thought I would share with you five places we have found within an hours drive of the farm in Warrington because, let’s face it, we can’t leave the … [Read more…]

Royal Cheshire County Show 2017-The Come Down

June 21, 2017 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

The Royal Cheshire Show is over for another year and I can’t help feeling a bit sad about it. We visited on Tuesday, the first day (we visited on the Wednesday last year). It was a family affair last year and even Hubster came along but this year, it was a scorching hot day and … [Read more…]

January 17, 2017 by farmerswifeandmummy 5 Comments

Sometimes I feel like I live in a little bubble on the farm and, to be honest, I am quite happy about it. We don’t often get to take days out as a family but that makes them all the more special when we do. I have come up with five places I would like … [Read more…]

It’s Time For Christmas at Bents 2016

October 12, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

This is my fourth year of writing about the Bents Christmas displays. What is different this year though is that rather than it be a treat for my birthday at the end of October, I was invited to have a sneak peak before everyone else. I like to think of myself as a Bents VIP … [Read more…]
