The end of shooting season
This is probably the last year that I’ll have N with me for all of a Saturday when it’s shoot season. On the farm, during pheasant shooting season, we’ll tend to have 5 or 6 shoots. To date, he’s been…

I’ve never been keen on having my photo taken, being a shy child, and until having N just not liking it especially when I’m not at my fit healthy self. The inbetween stage of 6th form and uni (pre-digital cameras…
Given that this week is National Breakfast Week, I thought it was quite appropriate to think about breakfast in our house…or out of our house. I’m a big believer in breakfast, even though I find I tend to eat more…
Obviously, living on a farm means that N is obsessed with farms. He watches Tractor Ted, knows more than me about different farming vehicles and what they do (admittedly not hard), and is gradually building up his collection of farming…

However much I set out everything for the morning the night before, it always seems like a rush. Of course that might be due to me wanting to read in bed for as long as possible now I’m back into…
It’s coming up for a year after my mum died. I can’t believe it’s been a year, and yet in some ways it feels like a lot longer. She’d been suffering for the best part of a year with an…
