We don’t go on holiday. We can’t really leave the farm and, in years gone by, the sight of Facebook friends jetting off to sunnier climes has left me sad. Not this year. This year, I am bringing the holiday to the farm. Just because we are staying at home does not mean we can’t … [Read more…]
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…]

What a month it has been. Since the last siblings post, we have celebrated a seventh and a third birthday. Boo’s birthday was first and I arranged for an ice cream man to come to the farm.

It’s finally arrived, the last day of term. We have six weeks of school holidays stretching out before us. Last year, I did a summer bucket list and it failed miserably. I suppose G wasn’t very old-that is my excuse anyway. This year, I have decided to think smaller. That way we may have … [Read more…]
At weekend, a Facebook post caught my eye. A so-called Candy Boat was to be moored at a canal near the farm. It looked so novel. After a quick search on Mr Google, it emerged that the Candy Boat had been doing the rounds across the North West so, on Sunday afternoon, I put the … [Read more…]
We are on the final day of the summer holidays. I actually thought yesterday was the last day and was fully prepared to arrive at school today for the first day until my friend broke the news that I had got the date wrong. Oops. Anyway, I thought today might be a good day to … [Read more…]
