My Year In Books 2021

January 7, 2022 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I started off my reading year in 2021 with no pressure. I hardly read any books in 2020 due to home schooling and generally not really feeling like it. I had thought I had read 16 books in 2021 but my maths skill, being true to form, were mistaken so, as I collated the list … [Read more…]

Stick Man-The Alternative Version

June 27, 2017 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Now this is not a usual post for me. I used to write poetry many years ago. I don’t know whether it is night feeds or being a stay at home mum that has tipped me over the edge but I have been thinking about this for a couple of weeks and I just had … [Read more…]
