After reading the Amanda Owen book, A Year In the Life of a Yorkshire Shepherdess, I have been thinking about how every day is different in farming let alone months or years. I do acknowledge that to share every detail of every day might get a bit tedious but I have decided to share with…
After our failed trip to our local animal auction a month or so ago, I was reluctant to return. Not least for the fact that I realised how difficult it would be to go on my own, buy animals, push the pram and hang on to an excited five-year-old. Last week however, I was feeling…
When I had Boo, I lovingly spent hours steaming fresh vegetables especially for her little mouth when we started weaning. I had every intention of doing the same for G and using those cute little pots. The reality was that he ended up having what we had, mushed up (not even liquidised with varying success….
Geronimo is back! And this year it’s going to be bigger and better. Seeing a return to Tatton Park in 2016 from May 29th – 30th and a new venue at Harewood House from May 1st – 2nd, expect a line-up jam packed with some of the biggest names in children’s entertainment, including TV favourites…
Sometimes, as a blogger, I get invited to very exciting things and last Saturday was one of them. We were invited to the Lego Discovery Centre at the Trafford Centre. Hubster was unable to go due to the farm that day so my Mum came with me and the two children and we arrived early…

Mushrooms especially can be dangerous if you don’t know what you are looking for. Thankfully, the furthest…
Following a hugely successful first festival in 2015, Geronimo is proud to announce it is not only returning to Tatton Park in Cheshire for a second year in 2016, but it also has a new second home at Harewood House, just outside Leeds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUzMt6gn5F8#t=22 Taking place over the weekends of 1 – 2 May (Harewood…
Thank you to everyone who has read my little blog this year. I am taking a break for a few days to spend time with my family. Lots of love and I will be back next week, hopefully.
We have been invited to the press night of Winter Wonderland for a couple of years but I’m a bit of a stickler with bedtime routines and I thought Boo was too young to be up so late. This year though, I decided she was old enough and Baby G was young enough so off…
