We try to make an effort to get out at least once a week as a family - as well as memory making and spending quality time together i feel it is so important to just 'get out' and prevent cabin fever setting in. Farming is a 24/7 life style and it is easy to get carried away with the never ending 'to do' list as well as keeping on top of the livestock's daily needs. It is not uncommon for a couple of weeks to pass with the other half not having any away time, and this can get mentally exhausting.
Today we took a trip 10 minutes down the road for a stomp around the woods at Arlington Court (stopping on the way to feed the cows at some away ground)! We got there to discover a major parenting fail - to not have brought any shoes or boots for Ethan!!! Seriously of all the things to forget..... fortunately we had packed the Ergobaby, so I carried the lump on my back whilst Dean took charge of the dogs. A lovely walk though (if not rather sweaty) and will be back before the leaves have completely turned with wellies in tow.
