Siblings, December 2019

December 15, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Christmas is hurtling towards us and we have been making the most of the festive season with Christmas fairs, nativity plays and general merriment. I love doing the siblings posts as it forces me to look through the photos from the last month and choose the best ones. It also makes me marvel then in … [Read more…]

Farm Life, October 2019

October 21, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

It’s funny, each month as I start to think about what has happened to write my regular Farm Life piece, I always think nothing has happened. This month was no different. It has been dominated by one word though. Mud. There has been a lot of rain and it has turned most of the fields … [Read more…]

Siblings, September 2019

This month’s siblings post sees the end of the summer holidays and the beginning of the school year. We still made use of our National Trust Membership by visiting Dunham Massey for a lovely day and we were joined there by my parents which was lovely. A lot of the remaining summer saw the farmer … [Read more…]

Goats the Size of Cows and Magic Hens-Our Crazy Life on the Farm

June 26, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

I always joke that ridiculous things happen to me. Sometimes they wouldn’t take up enough words to write a whole blog post. Sometimes they are not interesting enough. I also joke that the farmer won’t let me drive the trailer because he worries what I would come back with. The truth however is that until … [Read more…]

Siblings, June 2019

June 14, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I always spend a little time before writing my sibling posts to look through my photos and I am actually shocked the month at how much we have packed in. The week before the children finished for half term, I kept the middle child off nursery and took him and his little brother to the … [Read more…]

Siblings, May 2019

May 17, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

What a busy month it has been for the three siblings. The weather has been beautiful for most of it. We started the month with another Junior Farmers session at Kenyon Hall Farm where the children had a busman’s holiday learning about chickens and eggs. They do enjoy it though and it is actually nice … [Read more…]

Farm Life April 2019

April 17, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

In the last month, lambing has just about exploded. We have pet lambs coming out of our ears and the lambing shed is actually starting to look a bit quieter which is a relief for us all. All in all, it has gone well. You have to be pragmatic about it sometimes. Remember my post … [Read more…]

Introducing Our New Alpacas

March 25, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy 4 Comments

I have wanted new animals for ages. After the pig debacle (they were  bit vicious and wild), the farmer said it was a strictly grazing-only-animal farm. So that narrowed it down to cows, sheep goats or alpacas. Cows are currently a no-go as the regulations for keeping them are so strict that even I don’t … [Read more…]

What Happens at an Animal Auction?

March 11, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

  I love the auction. If you have ever done live bidding on eBay, you know that feeling of adrenaline in the pit of your stomach.  The livestock auction is just like that but better. I have watched the farmer bidding on things and he is so cool when he does it. Just a little … [Read more…]

The Impact of HS2 on Farming

January 17, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy 6 Comments

There was one word on the tip of everyone’s tongue as we entered 2019 and it was Brexit. Many people were sick of the build up and how it is going to affect farming is a worry to most people. There was (and still is) another threat to British farmland though and suspiciously, I can … [Read more…]
