Happy New Year 2016

December 31, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 3 Comments

We all use a New Year as an excuse to reflect and look back on the year just gone and look forward to the next. I am no different. I am actually done with New Year’s Resolutions. You never stick to them. I heard wise person say if you want to do something (or not … [Read more…]

R.I.P. Minty, The Best Sheep That Ever Lived

September 15, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 13 Comments

I don’t really know how to write this post. Pets are a funny thing and, can often divide people. There are usually pet-lovers and pet-haters. I don’t necessarily mean they would hurt and animal but they don’t really understand how people can love an animal and be upset when they are ill or have died. … [Read more…]

Our year, 2014 and looking forward to new beginnings

December 31, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

What a year it’s been at the farm. Boo turned three in January and then started nursery in April. It was a big step for me letting go of my baby but she absolutely loves it. So much so that she now stays for her lunch every day during term time. Lambing was lovely as … [Read more…]

Our No Waste Farm

November 20, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

One of the great things about having so many animals on the farm is that nothing gets wasted. Left over meat goes to the farm dogs and cats. Vegetable peelings go to the rabbits. This week however, I have been ashamed. My mum picked Boo up from nursery on Monday when I was at work … [Read more…]

A bit of sheep lovin’ down on the farm

November 8, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 6 Comments

I haven’t written about ‘proper’ farming for a while. I suppose #farmbaby2015 has overtaken what I’ve got to tell you about but that all changed yesterday as love was in the air at the farm. The rams went to spend a few months with the ewes (lady sheep) for love, companionship and maybe definitely more. … [Read more…]

Sheep shearing. My favourite day of the farming year. It s also one of the most tiring but it is such an exciting day and, with Boo being a bit older, it is the first we have fully taken part in. It began the night before as I prepared bread rolls (barm cakes if you’re … [Read more…]

Our beloved Minty is 1

April 5, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

I feel a little guilty. In the excitement last weekend of the new lambs, I forgot an important birthday. March 31st was Minty’s birthday. Minty is our pet lamb from last year. From the moment that four-legged-love entered our world, Boo and I loved him. He was so tiny and we didn’t think he would make … [Read more…]
