A short clip from this week’s vlog on how we’ve survived 33 years together.
Pure luck? Hard work? Stupidity?
All of the above? 😂♥️👍🏻

Apologies in advance to those who can’t deal with beauty, magic, weather, joy and… you know… looking outside. Someone always comments ‘I hate snow’ while sitting in a warm house drinking tea. Stay strong, heroes. 😂

NEW VLOG! 👇🏻
Snow changed our plans today, so we filmed the story we’ve never really told. How two lads from the 90s made it 33 years together. What nearly broke us, what keeps us going, and everything we learned along the way. ♥️

Out for a romantic winter stroll, wrapped up like pensioners on a day release, trying not to slip, fall, or break a hip. Inside though, we’re basically five year olds in oversized coats. 😂

Winter sweeping across the east Sutherland coast this morning. Layers of snow curtains over the sea, while the sky around Ben Horn looks like it’s throwing a tantrum. Beautiful! 😍

We’ve added a new plant-based soap to our range of bars that are made with pure, natural ingredients from our croft. 🫧 'Naked in the Glen' blends cedarwood, orange, mandarin, and sandalwood for a warm, soothing scent. Our full range is freshly restocked and ready to go! 👉🏻 www.foxesafloat.com/shop

The shop assistant asked if he needed help. I said yes, but not the kind they can offer. 🤪🤣

Sherlock had some new friends drop by this morning! 🐑 Some black sheep had a mooch over from a neighbouring croft. I let them trim the long grass before encouraging them back home. 😅 youtube.com/shorts/N9yla...

🦌 At this time of year, we regularly get groups of Red deer on the croft. These are chilling out behind the chicken coop. It’s rutting season, but this small group are young stags, hinds and calves. A quieter “satellite herd” who are quite rightly keeping away from the chaos until the rut is over.
