So following on from my last entry about Harringtons, the natural choice in pet food, I received some exciting news. Whether the lovely people at Harringtons loved the review or they just felt sorry for the many, many animal mouths we have to feed, a second delivery of pet food arrived. This time for the…
Is it just me or is anyone else struggling with #100HappyDays? If you’ve not heard of it, you have to post a photo of something that makes you happy every day for 100 days to a social media outlet like Twitter, Pinterest or Facebook. I thought it was a lovely idea and it is, however…
Living on a farm, we have a LOT of animals. From the livestock to our long list of pets, we are always buying animal feed. So when the lovely people at Harringtons, the natural choice, offered me the chance to review some dog food, I jumped at the chance. My first tester was Rosie our…
Dear Mr Fox, You have visited us too many times over the past few years. We have spent hundreds of pounds on birds that have either ended up in your horrible stomach or left dead in the coop and the field. I have cried many, many tears over the carnage you have left and…

People ask you, in earnest, ‘do you still have to feed the cows/sheep/horses/pigs (delete as applicable) on Christmas Day? The farmer’s wife buys reindeer antlers for…
There are certain words that you should NEVER say to a toddler and the only way around communicating them to others is by spelling them out. You must have heard other parents doing it. Every child is different so will bring with them their own list. You will probably be able to add to the…
