I actually feel a tiny bit smug about my siblings post his month. Not because it is school holidays but because, for possibly the first time ever, I have got more than one photo of them all looking. I know. Go me. It is probably a fluke but I am going with it for this…
It seems like an age since we were sat in our secret woods for last month’s sibling post. The long, hot sunny days have seemed endless and the relationships are blossoming between my three at the moment. They have all enjoyed the paddling pool although the baby has had his fair share of dunking, largely…
I have had a bit of a renaissance lately, the long hours of sunlight means at this time of year we really do get a glut of eggs. There are only so many boiled eggs a family of five can eat (quite a lot actually) so I have been flicking through my recipe books and…
Long hot days, hay and straw flying everywhere and flies. It can only be summer on the farm. This year marks my sixth year on the farm but we were here a lot for the year previously because we were renovating our side of the house so seven, really. There are things that only happen…
Wow what a month is has been. The weather has been glorious and, for once, my house has been exceptionally tidy because the children have hardly been inside. We have been to the beach twice, enjoyed dinosaur crazy golf at our local garden centre and generally had a lot of fun outside. Despite lathering them…
It’s been a month of big changes with the siblings this time. G has started nursery and Boo has moved schools. They have both taken it very well and it makes me ever so proud of them-Boo especially. This has meant that the baby has three hours a day when he is not having toys…
There. I’ve said it. Animas-anything to do with the animals, I love. Field work, not so much. The problem is, if you have animals, you have to put in the field work to feed them. This year has seemed the hardest yet. Having a small baby is hard at the best of times but he…
I feel like the time since the last Siblings post has been quite uneventful. The weather has been lovely so there has been a lot of playing out for the siblings and haymaking for Daddy. We always go and have a picnic in the field with Daddy when he is busy. Our picnic this year…
I’ve not published a recipe in a while. To be honest, I wasn’t too sure that people liked to read them but I made this chilled soup this week and I had to share it. I love soup. All year round. If I am trying to watch what I eat, it is a great way…
Recent weather is, once again, giving some farmers cause for concern. The good weather that the UK has been experiencing of late is giving farmers, especially those in the South and East of the country, only 10 per cent of the rainfall they expected in March and April. If normal levels of rain do fall…
