Tips for buying at car boot sales
I love a car boot sale. They’re great for a Sunday morning mooch, especially if you’re on the look out for a certain something for your home or children. You can get some real bargains. If you’re not familiar with…
Adventures
Our adventures out and about in the UK, on the farm and further afield.
Making the most of an annual pass at Compton Verney
Last weekend we were at a bit of a loose end which is always good when you’ve got a full day free that’s full of sunshine. Seeing a friend on Facebook was also looking for something to do, we decided…
Sun, rain and outdoor fun
One of the best things about beautiful weather is being able to take stunning photos. This weekend’s definitely had some great weather, and there’s been a lot of photo opportunities amongst the weekend’s outdoor fun. For us it started after nursery…
It’s for charity…annual clay shoot

Strawberry picking and car washes
I’ve never taken N strawberry picking before, and last weekend spotted a friend had taken her two to a pick your own only 10 minutes drive away from us. We didn’t have particular plans on Sunday (mine were to relax…
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….
Running wild in Christ Church Meadows
Last weekend we went to the Cushion Concert in Oxford which was great fun, and went down brilliantly with N and his friend L. We decided that afterwards we’d head to the river and have a picnic for lunch. Of…
