This last week has been quite a busy one with various jobs finally getting sorted out. The utility room was in desperate need of a clean especially after the dogs had come in from out side covered in wet mud and wrestling in there. There were dirty tail marks on every surface you could see,…

I don’t seem to be able to get on this morning probably because I have a lot to do and don’t know where to begin! The snow has gone and with the torrential rain that came after it is now disgustingly muddy around the farm. It occurred to me last week when I went into…

Well the snow is still laying on the ground and I prefer it to the rain and the mud but just at the moment we could do without it. With numerous members of the family hoping to fly away to warmer climates it is touch and go as to wether the flights are going or…

Well this morning we were greeted with a lovely carpet of snow, that has now turned to rain and is currently being washed away. If the forecast is correct we can expect a fair bit of snow over the next three weeks, I would rather have that than rain at least the animals enjoy playing…

We made it, the world didn’t end, we didn’t kill each other because we spent too much time with one another over the holiday, though the temptation was there I am sure, and as yet we have not been washed away by the rain! Thankfully the latter has taken a hike for the time being although…

Sadly, this week we lost our Border Collie, Milly, it was a bit of a shock to say the least as she had been fine, no indication that she was ill at all. I came home from an appointment on Tuesday, let all the dogs out, went to get them in a while later and…

The weather has been fairly kind to us this week and the ground is drying up quite nicely for the time being. It is helped by the millions of leaves that have now fallen all over the farm, we don’t pick them up, firstly it would be too long of a job and secondly if…
