Escape To The Country - Highland Living!
We managed to escape to the country and are loving Highland living. The sun's out, spring is coming and we're building a new life in the Highlands of Scotland. Today we plan where we're going to be keeping the chickens, goats and bees, and Colin goes kayaking to explain what led us to this new life in Highland Scotland.
Don’t Chase the Northern Lights in a Wheelbarrow!
Shaun gets a bit too excited when his wheelbarrow arrives, ending in a race that goes horrifically wrong!

We also start work on our new small-holding, clearing land in preparation for the arrival of our livestock.
