It is finally here. The last day of the summer holidays. At the beginning of the six weeks off, I did worry how I would fill Boo’s days. She is kept so busy at school and I just cannot compete with that. Thankfully, I had nothing to worry about. We have had a lovely time….
Don’t you just love the great British summer? Scorching one minute, wet and cold the next. It sometimes feels like you can’t plan barbecues and get-togethers due to the weather. Well, now you can. I recently took part in Sizzling Summer campaign with online kitchen, home and garden store, Domu. I was sent a Teppanyaki…
It is actually raining here today but it has been unseasonably hot here recently-even for summer. I therefore decided to come up with five ways of keeping animals-of all varieties cool in hot weather. 1.Water. It may seem obvious but while I am sure everyone makes sure their animals have water, it is important to…
Across the country (weather permitting), hay and silage is being made and crops are being harvested. All this hard work adds up to very hungry workers. It’s school holidays too so there are even more mouths to feed. I have heard of a special sheep shearing cake which I have been researching but I thought…
It’s finally arrived, the last day of term. We have six weeks of school holidays stretching out before us. Last year, I did a summer bucket list and it failed miserably. I suppose G wasn’t very old-that is my excuse anyway. This year, I have decided to think smaller. That way we may have…
Barbecue season is well upon us-even if the weather hasn’t had the memo. We love barbecue food here come rain or shine so we do eat it indoors if the sun isn’t shining. There’s something about barbecue that really appeals to me. I know not everyone is a fan of charred food but I love…
We are on the final day of the summer holidays. I actually thought yesterday was the last day and was fully prepared to arrive at school today for the first day until my friend broke the news that I had got the date wrong. Oops. Anyway, I thought today might be a good day to…
Earlier this week, we had one of the first sunny days in ages on the farm and, with the summer holidays still stretching before us, I put my thinking cap on to find something both Boo and the baby would enjoy. I decided to do a teddy bears picnic but, on closer examination of Boo’s teddy…
The sun has finally been shining and it is the perfect opportunity to take your baby out in the pram. There is usually a fly in the ointment though and that is, adequate sun protection for your baby. Babies under six months of age should be kept out of direct sunlight all together and, while…
We don’t get to go out much as a family. It is the nature of the business we are in so when we do, we make the most of it. Yesterday was a rare treat. The four of us went to the seaside. We love Blackpool. It was one of the first places Hubster and…
