Baby Animal Farm Updates.
We’ll soon be packing our bags and heading back to the northern hemisphere—sunny Spain awaits! I’m quietly hoping this summer is a little kinder than last year’s scorcher. When temperatures creep past 40°C, “sun-seeking” quickly turns into “strategically hiding indoors with a cold drink.” Fingers crossed for a gentler season this time. But enough about…

Baby Animal Farm PT 6
A Shocking New Arrival Yesterday evening, IG burst through the door in a flurry of excitement, cheeks flushed, boots still muddy.“There’s a small black creature in the paddock with the cows—come quick!” Well, that got our hearts racing. As we hurried to pull on jackets, our minds ran through every possible culprit. A predator? A…

Baby Animal Farm – Part 5
Toby the Border Collie Pup Do you remember in my last post when I said I didn’t think there would be any more baby animals? Well, I was wrong—again. It turns out it’s not only my daughter’s farm that produces surprises. The farm next door, owned by a lovely chap called Josh, had its own…

Baby Animal Farm. Pt 3
It has felt quite strange and almost surreal flying from the depths of mid-winter in the northern hemisphere, where it hasn’t stopped raining for three long months, to the vibrant and lively mid-summer in the southern hemisphere, filled with sunshine and warm, gentle breezes. The stark contrast between the two seasons is remarkable, and while…

Without hesitation, IG and Rachael leapt into the car to rescue them. When they returned, there were indeed two little furballs: a tabby named Maggie and…

Baby Animal Farm
Baby Ducks Delight Though I’ve always adored animals—especially horses—and have spent most of my life living or working in the countryside, Chris and Rachael’s twenty-hectare farm is on an entirely different level.Our grand plan is to build a two-bedroom lodge where John and I can stay every northern hemisphere winter. This will help stave off arthritis…

Breakfast with Horses PT 2
On the day of the operation, I arrived early only to find that John was still in surgery. After waiting anxiously on the ward, a nurse informed me John was in ICU. My heart raced as I dashed down to our small but well-equipped hospital to gather more information. Finally, at 5:30 PM, a different…

Breakfast With Horses. PT 1
We arrived in Oxford, New Zealand, after many setbacks. Originally, we planned to spend the entire northern hemisphere winter with my daughter and her family on their farm—a new venture that has been a lifelong dream for both Rachael and Chris. But health setbacks got in the way. In anticipation of our visit, I booked our…
