The last time I wrote a gardening post was back in April. In those two to three months, there has been a veritable explosion in my tubs. Little seedlings have sprouted and gone mad. The weather has helped. Wet, warm, wet, warm. We have had some disasters. The netting didn’t always keep the pests away. … [Read more…]
This story could have ended so differently and believe me, if it had, I would not have been writing this post. The bunny babies have been thriving. They are getting quite big and plump and will be ready for new homes in a week or so. They may be plump but they have been able … [Read more…]
My Word of the Week this week is…. Despite the weather here turning to rain, the last week has been glorious. We’ve been able to play outside every day. We’ve eaten our breakfast outside. Played outside. Had the bunny babies out and taken mean photos of them in baskets and on the washing line. Boo … [Read more…]
My word of the week is… Unfortunately, still not of the human variety but don’t think that has taken the shine of this amazing week here. Earlier in the week, I added a post about a little chick being born. I was beyond excited. Nothing could better that, surely? Well something did. Hubster sent me … [Read more…]
We don’t need much of an excuse around here to get hopping mad and I’m not talking about being angry. It is almost Easter. I’ve always loved rabbits.

I feel as if I haven’t updated you on the petting zoo recently and it’s moved up a gear in the last couple of weeks. I can just smell spring and spring to me means babies. The sheep are fattening up ready to produce little lambs (just for me) and, after several weeks of … [Read more…]
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 … [Read more…]
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 … [Read more…]
New year is a time to look back at the last year and look forward to the next. It is the same for everyone I suppose. A natural reflecting process. On a farm it is a case of taking stock of births and deaths but then I suppose other people do that too but hopefully … [Read more…]
