The Executioner Bug Swatter-A Review

August 18, 2022 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

  I don’t think anyne would be surprised to see flies on a farm-especially in summer. To be honest though, even when we had cows, it wasn’t bad. Unfortunately though, a recycling site opened a while back not far from the farm and, in our opinion, since then we have suffered with actual swarms. I … [Read more…]

Siblings, July 2021

July 18, 2021 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I’m a bit late with this month’s Siblings post because I have struggled knowing what day it is. I keep thinking it is the beginning of July not that we are half way through. It’s been another month of sunny days and farm picnics. Hay has been made and we have moved around the various … [Read more…]

Siblings, June 2021

Summer seems to have finally arrived at the farm and the children have certainly been celebrating and making the most of it. Paddling pools, ice lollies and lots of outdoor playing has been wonderful them (and the drying of washing equally wonderful for me). One of the biggest bits of news this month is our … [Read more…]

Siblings, September 2020

The longest summer in the world has finally come to an end and, all three children are back at school or nursery. I just hope Covid-19 can be kept in check to ensure the children stay in their educational settings. It has been a big deal for all of them and all three have been … [Read more…]

Farm Life, August 2020

  August has been a funny old month on the farm. As always, it has been the weather which has dominated everything. Very hot and wet weather seems to be the norm now in the UK summer time but it really does not correspond well with hay making.   Having said that, we got a … [Read more…]

I am a couple of days late with this month’s Siblings post because, quite frankly, I don’t know where the time has gone. We are still at home on the farm but we did manage a trip out this month to Kenyon Hall Farm for our annual fruit picking. This year we picked strawberries from … [Read more…]

As predicted, July on the farm has been mainly abut field work. It’s not been cut and dry though, literally. You need a good dry period with hot sunshine to make hay and the sun, when it does make an appearance, doesn’t seem to be very hot. Nevertheless, hay and haylage has been made and … [Read more…]

If July’s life on the farm was all about field work, this month has been more about rain. Despite experiencing the hottest day of the year so far (the mercury hit 37 degrees), storms broke the heatwave and rain moved in for weeks. The duck pond had dried out quite a bit but it has … [Read more…]

Silly Season on the Farm

June 20, 2018 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

Recently, I wrote a piece about loneliness on the farm in the summer. What is the reason for this loneliness? Silly season. When I worked at the newspaper, most of the summer was traditionally known as silly season-when news is thin on the ground. Mainly because of the break in Parliament but also because other … [Read more…]
