This morning I saw a really interesting story about the decline of the UK bee population and how this will effect food production. Basically we might not have any bees left in 10 years time, which will have a huge knock on effect on food grown in the UK. I can’t even begin to imagine [...]

Ok, I haven’t been doing very well with up-dating with what I’m been doing lately, but I’ve been doing LOTS.
Last week I was on a course (which I passed!) in Gloucester, as it was £12 a day for parking and £12.50 for a weeks bus ticket I was getting the bus in and out each [...]

I came across this on someone elses blog, Simpler Times Village, sounds like a dream.

Jo from the FFarm Dairy tagged me, it’s my first time!
What I was doing ten years ago: I was 11, almost 12, ten years ago. I think I spent most of the summer out in the woods building bases. My first goat was about a year and spent most of her time with me, my [...]

Baked Bean and Sausage Casserole

This is one of my favourite meals, mostly eaten with jacket potatoes.
(in our house we never measure anything out, just work out how many people will be home for dinner and guess from there)
Chop and fry some onion with black pepper and mixed herbs until the onion is soft, add tinned baked beans and tinned [...]
Remembering the past

The 2001 foot and mouth outbreak was a very important time in my life, it was the most unpleasant time I have ever been through but it has played a big part in shaping who I am now and what I believe in. It was a truly horrible time for many, who like me probably [...]
White world

Well, it did snow today, three times. I woke up this morning and the world was white, then the sun came out and it all was melted by 10am-ish. Then it snowed again this afternoon but didn’t settle and it’s snowing again now, a lot. So I’ve stayed in as much as possible and watch [...]

Just like chickens quail make an egg laying noise as well, it’s a sort of low whistle.
Last night I came into the room just as Button started to make her noise, there was an egg behind her that I picked up, it was still warm and a little bit sticky. Then I heard a light tap noise [...]
Too busy for computers

I haven’t really been near a computer for almost three days now, the weather has been really nice for the past two days and I’ve been off as well so I’ve been catching up with lots of outdoor jobs.
It’s been really nice as well, Thursday me and Rhys spent the morning cleaning out goat housing and [...]
