I won’t going to write a Farm Life post this month as I didn’t think much had happened. Then, as usual, I looked back at the photos and changed my mind. For months, I had wondered if Sponge, the last of my female pygmy goats was pregnant. I was beginning to think she wasn’t and…
**Contains an image of a fox ravaged duck It’s been a funny old month on the farm. Christmas has been and gone and in terms of farm life, everything carried on as usual. Having the children off school meant any animal feeding had help took three times longer but they do enjoy collecting the eggs,…

My word of the week is… Unfortunately, still not of the human variety but don’t think that has taken the shine of this amazing week here.
