Our Farm Diary & Blog

We've recently done a podcast episode titled The Art of a Granny Hobby, but I felt that is needed an accompanying blog post too, especially as we move into the darker nights when people's mental health can take a dip. If you haven't listened to it already, you can now on Spotify or YouTube by clicking below! A “granny hobby” sounds quaint until life starts to feel too loud, too fast, and too bright.

While some might enjoy and even thrive on this, it really isn't the only way to embrace and enjoy summer. Somewhere along the way, the season that invites us to ensure that we are present and soak up fleeting moments has become another thing that has to be 'done well'.
