Reflecting on my 2019 goals
While New Year’s Resolutions aren’t for everyone I personally love using the start of a new year as a chance to set some goals, while being mindful of being realistic and considering how achievable the goals are. Now that we’ve … Continue reading
A little life update
Hey, it feels like a long time since I just sat down and typed in here, without focusing on a topic per say, so I thought I’d write a little life update to share what’s going on at the moment. … Continue reading
Brecon Beacons
A few weeks ago Ash & I went for a long weekend camping in the Brecon Beacons. We stayed at a lovely site called Priory Mill Farm, just outside of Brecon. It was nice and quiet when we arrived on … Continue reading

3 Peaks for 3 Charities
So one night before Christmas I was sat in the pub with a group of my closest friends and I started the discussion of “what shall I do before I turn 30”. Ash and I have always wanted to walk … Continue reading
A weekend of running & walking Cadir Idris
At the start of October we headed to a tiny cottage near Machynlleth, perched up on a hill with nothing but sheep around us and a gorgeous view. That’s right… we escaped from the farm to go and stay on … Continue reading
My 2019 Goals
Zebby Continue to increase his confidence in classes Zebby has been getting better and better in our obedience classes, but he still struggles at times, so it is something I want to keep working at. I’d love for him to … Continue reading
Tough Woofer
A muddy obstacle course for dogs and their owners, what a great idea! I was initially quite apprehensive about how Zebby would cope with all the other dogs, and he was very overwhelmed when we first arrived, but he soon … Continue reading
My early morning routine
I never used to be a morning person. I would sleep in until as late as possible and then scoff down some breakfast and rush to work. When I moved to the farm with Ash I would often sleep through … Continue reading
Why volunteer
I’ve been volunteering as Beaver Scout Leader for my local Scout Group for nearly 10 years now, but I don’t see myself as a volunteer, I just see it as something I do. My hobby. You should enjoy your volunteering … Continue reading
Neewa Canicross Belt
When I started the Couch to 5k program in January I really started to look in to Canicross with more interest. For anyone who doesn’t know, Canicross is a sport where you run with your dog attached to you. It’s … Continue reading
The only competition that matters is with yourself
I’m always comparing myself to other people, I’m awful at it. They’re faster than me, they’re stronger than me, they’re more confident than me. As I’ve been learning to run I’ve constantly been comparing my time and pace to others, … Continue reading
Winter on the farm
I have mixed opinions about winter… I love the snow, but then when it’s wet and muddy I do get fed up of it. Walking the dogs in cold, dark mornings and evenings and washing them off every single time … Continue reading
Zebby goes camping
Due to calving and other commitments Ash and I had one chance to get away and go camping this summer, so despite having a young puppy we thought we may as well get him used to it now and get … Continue reading
Frozen yoghurt & cool coats
Today we all took a break from work & home and ventured out for the day to the Cheshire Show. Thankfully it was slightly cooler than recent days this week but still pretty hot, so I took Guinness’ Ruffwear Cool … Continue reading
Spring Favourites
My monthly favourite posts have been not so monthly at the moment. Then I spotted a fabulous idea on OkGoAgility (I’ll talk about them more later) and they had swapped from monthly to seasonal favourite posts, so I am going … Continue reading
Spring on the Farm
When I first moved here in December I mentioned how excited I was to see the farm change in the seasons, well I’ve certainly not been disappointed! Spring has brought a wash of colour, activity and life. Gradually the trees … Continue reading
Crufts
That magical time of year when every dog lover, owner and professional flocks to the NEC in Birmingham to celebrate all things dogs! I love it. I didn’t make it last year so I was extra excited this time, and … Continue reading
What a weekend
Friday afternoon I packed my thermals and my sleeping bag and headed off out on a Scout Camp. It was such a blast! I love being on camp. Yeah it’s cold and it’s hard work and it’s tiring but it … Continue reading
