Welcome to my blog! I have decided to keep a blog of the highs and lows of my life. I am a Mum (on the wrong side of 35!) with four children - 3 boys (aged 10, 7 & 6) and a baby girl (aged 15 months). I am also a farmers wife for my sins! We have a dairy and arable farm on the South coast and are situated a 10 minute drive from the New Forest. We live in a 'rambling' farmhouse, which has been traced back as far as 1543!! Our house is lovely and has many quirks, including the sloping floor upstairs and worn down flagstones in the kitchen! It also is in need of decorating, although I have decorated the children's bedrooms and am decorating the kitchen as and when! My husband works on the farm, alongside his parents and a new lad, who has started working part time on the farm today! There are about 200 cows on the farm, of which 100 are currently being milked.
I have an 8 year old, 15.3hh TB skewbald gelding which I drive and love taking all the family out for a jaunt around the village. Although, my eldest son would rather not be seen out driving and insists on wearing a hat and shades in the hope no one recognises him!! Baby girl thinks it's great though and waves to everyone she sees! Bless!
I also have 3 dogs, 4 cats, 4 hens, a rooster, 4 ducks, 2 geese and the boys have a giant African land snail each!
I have a large veg garden, where I try to grow as many different types of vegetables as I can.
The boys go to the local school in the village and quite enjoy it! They have forged some wonderful friendships with some of there classmates.
I am currently not working - or should that be 'I am currently not in paid employment!' I believe our children should be with their mother where possible and if this means we have to go without certain things due to me not earning a wage, then so be it. My children are more important to me than material things.
I love my life, even though it can be rather stressful at times!
I hope you will enjoy my blog. Please feel free to leave me comments. That way I'll know I'm not talking to myself! (Nothing new there though!!)
Well said being a mummy is hard work, but its worth it through the tears and laughter to watch your little cherubs grow up xx
ReplyDeleteI think we are very near neighbours. I love to hear about Jason. I wish the people who have the other horses in the field looked after them as well as you do. Well done wish I was younger, I would give yu a hand
