Covid-19 has changed many things in our lives but it still astounds me how people have adapted in order to be able to carry on with their businesses. A few weeks ago I was in receipt of three (11) hens from a local farmer who brought them to me and put them in the stable…
At the farm, I like to think we live and breathe seasons. I really think children enjoy reading stories that they can relate to and books can be a really lovely alternative to chocolate gifts at Easter. I have come up with our favourite books for Spring time and Easter at the farm. Emma’s Lamb…
A lesson has been learned at the farm this week. We have had loads of rabbits over the years and I have always been forced to give them away because of over zealous terriers at the farm who would love nothing better than a bunny bagel for lunch. Recently I decided that the children were…
Farming inspired clothing with an Easer twist you say? How can I say no? The problem arises however with my love of twinning. I need unisex-ish clothing which comes in a wide spectrum of sizes. I have found it a struggle this year. The boys come under the same size bracket but I have found…
We’ve lived at the farm for a few years now and I thought it was about time I shared with you my not-so clever business ideas. There’s been a few. I had a dream of entrepreneurship where I would build a little shed near the house in which to make my million. The problem was,…
Babies can be so hard to buy for. If your children have grown up or you haven’t had any, it can be even worse as you can often forget what children are into at a particular age. With us, you can never go far wrong with farm-inspired gifts and, while sheep, cows and tractors might…
Last year I was a novice rabbit breeder. While I hoped it would happen, it all ended up a bit haphazard with at least seven litters, four of them unplanned. This year I am going to try and be more organised about it. I desperately want some Easter bunny babies so I worked out, if…
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…
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,…
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…
