Walking off lunch, hiking across the hill behind our house. There’s fresh snow on the mountains, and the showers are heading our way. The northerly wind is brutal, so I’m wrapped up like an overcautious pensioner at a bus stop. 🥶

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. 😂

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! 😍

🦌 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.
