Another month at home on the farm and the siblings are still, mostly, having a great time together. A lot of warm sunny weather has helped and we have taken the dogs for walks, been on nature trails and set up little play areas on the grass or in the front field. The warm weather … [Read more…]
Thinking over the last month, I think there is one phrase which keeps coming to my mind and that is thick as thieves. My three have really enjoyed spending time together. I know they have no choice but it still makes me all warm inside that they actually like each other. Obviously there are arguments … [Read more…]
At the end of last month’s Siblings post, I said we had lambing preparation and Easter to look forward to and, while lambing has been much the same as other years (apart from visitors), the lives of mine and most other children have been turned upside down in the last month. No school, no swimming … [Read more…]
We have had a lovely month. The weather during half term was dismal but it did not stop our fun one bit. We began the week at Junior Farmers where the children learnt about growing strawberries and planted a strawberry plant each to bring home which was lovely. Definitley something to look forward to in … [Read more…]
If last month’s siblings was about Christmas, this month was all about birthdays. We have had two. The eldest turned nine and we had a lovely time celebrating with family and friends. She loves a buffet (I don’t know who she gets that off) and the evening of her birthday, we took her to a … [Read more…]

Christmas is hurtling towards us and we have been making the most of the festive season with Christmas fairs, nativity plays and general merriment. I love doing the siblings posts as it forces me to look through the photos from the last month and choose the best ones. It also makes me marvel then in … [Read more…]
Halloween has dominated the last month of siblings. I am pleased to say that all outfits were worn more than once so we have definitely had our monies worth. An annual Halloween disco took place at my eldest boy’s school and I took the three children. I was pleased the youngest wanted to be a … [Read more…]
October has been a funny old month for the siblings. School and getting to school has dominated and while the little time they have had together at evenings and weekend has been precious, there just hasn’t been enough of it. We did make the most of what we thought would be the last nice day … [Read more…]
This month’s siblings post sees the end of the summer holidays and the beginning of the school year. We still made use of our National Trust Membership by visiting Dunham Massey for a lovely day and we were joined there by my parents which was lovely. A lot of the remaining summer saw the farmer … [Read more…]
