Over the last year children (and their teachers) have had a lot thrown at them. It’s certainly something they’ll look back on as part of history, with hopefully some fond memories as well as recalling how shocking it can be…
We don’t have many snowy days here, but generally when we have snowy days, they’re either just a slight dusting or too much and we end up with the roads blocked from the wind. Being in lockdown means I’m less…
Another week of lockdown, and now it looks like we won’t have to make the decision on whether N goes back to school because the rest of the year groups aren’t going back til September. N’s happy. The school are…
Being on a farm we rarely walk our dogs. Well, the in laws walk theirs and my sister in law loves going for long walks with theirs. But ours generally just roam around on the farm, then go out in…

Children certainly keep you on your toes. I should have expected that really. All of last year I moaned that I never saw N at weekends. That he always wanted to be out on the farm. And often we’d have…

Parenting advice seems to say to avoid negotiating with kids. I’m not sure I agree. We have a lot of negotiations in our house. Ever since N has grasped the fact that he might be able to get something following…
Being on a farm means there’s lots of animals around. N is certainly learning how to care for them, everything about them, and an appreciation of them. But most of the animals are livestock rather than pets. Even the dogs…
