Farms can be scary places-especially at night when everything is deathly quiet and you can hear the rustling of a sheep in a darkened shed or maybe it is something else. As ever, I like to find the farm-link with everything so I have put y thinking cap on to come up with some farm…
As the nights grow darker and the leaves fall from the trees, I think we all begin to have the urge to cuddle up. The traditional cuisine of stews and soups in the Autumn really lends itself to a bit of spice and it seems it is our bodies way of trying to relive some…
This month has been about half term and pumpkins for my three. They enjoyed baking and a Halloween treasure hunt and, while we didn’t really go far in their week off, they had lots of fun together on the farm. The boys especially go through a constant cycle of loving each other to fighting over…
