We finally break out the paddling pool
Last year poor N just had a water table and a paddling pool, which was a cheapo circular one that was mainly used as a ball pit. With our outdoor water tap being in the lodger’s side of the garden,…

It’s for charity…annual clay shoot
It seems ages ago since we had our annual charity clay shoot at the farm. Turns out it was 2 weeks ago, and I’m a tad behind writing it up so no wonder it feels like ages ago. It’s now…
A farmhouse kitchen – warm and welcoming
Someone once said “The kitchen is the heart of any home” and that’s certainly true of ours. I think with farms, that’s generally true across the board…definitely in all the farm houses of my friends and relations I’ve ever visited….
‘Alligator’ or kids John Deere gator driving
N’s been really lucky this week…he’s finally inherited his cousins’ kids John Deere Gator. The Gator’s been going a long time as it was a freebie thrown in with a tractor purchase about 9 years ago. It’s been used by…
Forever blowing bubbles
I’ve loved seeing all the bubble photos and play over the last few weeks, and fancied getting the bubbles out at home. Obviously if your toddler goes to any birthday party, then you’re bound to have a bottle of bubbles…

Farm children play – working and water fun
We’re so lucky being on the farm, as it means that even if we can’t get further afield (no pun intended!), there’s still plenty of space for the children to play outside. Being farm children, there’s not really any excuse…
Adventures on the farm and Daddy’s boy
N’s always loved being with his dad, but previously has been a bit young to worry about his dad working late and not being around at tea. But now, he’s turned into a bit of a Daddy’s boy; he always…
Home, farm and garden play – Ezy Roller play
I had grand plans for the Easter weekend. I’d taken the Thursday off work to tie in with N being off nursery, so had planned going to National Trust properties, doing various Easter events/trails and the like. Instead, N decided…
Simple pleasures – garden play
The weather’s turned a lot warmer recently, and apart from a bit of rain, it’s generally been dry enough to get out for some garden play and a mooch around. N loves being outside, and at his day nursery earlier…
