If you follow me on twitter, you may have noticed a banner on the top of my profile picture which says #BringHometheHarvest. What does it mean? I hear you ask? Well, tomorrow, September 20th kick-starts the beginning of British Food Fortnight and naturally, living on a farm. This is something very close to my heart. … [Read more…]
I’ve not written about our animals for a while now. I suppose #farmbaby2015 has taken over my thoughts but believe me, the animals are still here. Considering this time last year we had three rabbits that I was unsure of the sex and no bunny babies, the 2014 breeding season has been prolific and, … [Read more…]
Have you ever had the feeling you were being followed? It’s happened to Boo and I for a week now and strange things seemed to turn up in unexpected locations. Take last weekend. We went strawberry picking at our local fruit farm. In one of the strawberry patches, we saw a small bear carefully wrapped, … [Read more…]
A lot of people say their kitchen is the heart of their home but I don’t think anyone can say this and mean it more than a farmer’s wife. For us it us such a multi-functional room. I cook there-three meals a day most days so I spend a LOT of my time in there. … [Read more…]
It has been so hot this week so really, there was only one thing for it-the paddling pool had to come out. I say come out, I had to buy a new one. Last year we had a brilliant plastic one which, after Hubster ‘tidied’ away the outdoor toys in Autumn, mysteriously disappeared, feared burnt … [Read more…]
This story could have ended so differently and believe me, if it had, I would not have been writing this post. The bunny babies have been thriving. They are getting quite big and plump and will be ready for new homes in a week or so. They may be plump but they have been able … [Read more…]
As the weather was so nice last week, Boo and I decided to go for a walk across the fields. I ashamedly, hadn’t walked over there for years. I suppose before, I would have had to take the pram which, if anyone has tried to push a (non-off-road) pram over fields will agree, it is … [Read more…]
My Word of the Week this week is…. Despite the weather here turning to rain, the last week has been glorious. We’ve been able to play outside every day. We’ve eaten our breakfast outside. Played outside. Had the bunny babies out and taken mean photos of them in baskets and on the washing line. Boo … [Read more…]
May 6th is a very special day for us and the new life just keeps on coming. Five years ago, on May 6th 2009, our beloved ‘house’ dog (as opposed to the farm dogs) gave birth to five puppies. We weren’t living at the farm then and it was definitely an experience having them in … [Read more…]
Well it is all very exciting at the farm this week. For once, it is not about the animals or our escapades. Next Sunday-4th May, I will be leaving the farm for the day. That’s right-a whole day away. I am attending my first, ever, blogger conference which will be hosted at the Museum of Science and … [Read more…]
