My family are from a rural area, born and bred.
Me, I was born in the city, and I remember vividly when mum and dad told me we were moving to “the country”. I was 8 and I thought everyone would be watching black and white television and wearing colonial style clothing. (Nope I’m not joking, the thoughts of a child huh!) We still live in regional Australia, and my kids are more worldly and travelled than I was, but it’s still very important to me that they understand and appreciate rural Australia and the farmers that put food on our plates.
So, to help achieve that, as I’d already mentioned, we were excited to be participating in Farm Day. We headed off last weekend to Booroomooka Angus Stud, and I have some wonderful stories to share. But first up, here’s some photos of our amazing day.
We’re linking up for Wordless Wednesday too.
My father’s family were all farmers and your photographs brought back some lovely memories of my childhood, visiting the farm on the weekend and riding horses before we had even started school! Feeding the chooks was the best part of the day! I think farm day is a great idea. Lovely photos too.
I would secretly (well it’s no secret really) love to live on a farm. Farming strawberries perhaps. Have a couple of horses and some ponies for the kids. Yes, yes I would most certainly be up for that! Beautiful photos.
I did have to laugh reading your opening – I was born in the country, and can clearly remember being told we were moving to the city. I was 11 and couldn’t understand why we were moving and why no one cared that I didn’t want to!
Such lovely photos.
Glad you had fun.
We have cows on our farm but quite a stud.
We love Angus cows.
Thanks for linking up
