Little steps.

I can hardly believe that this time last year we were starting our journey up the A1 (and a few other roads) to our new home in Scotland.

However, due to car trouble M arrived safely on the 30th September but Jess, Finn and I didn't make it until 5am on the 1st October, but that is another very long story best left in history. (Jess and Finn waiting for the AA!!!)

A new country, a new house, a change in lifestyle and a 10 year dream of our own patch of land surrounded by woodland eventually coming true. 'Little steps' was our mantra as we embarked on life as smallholders with a multitude of manuals and handbooks to hand. Such an exciting time planning for chickens, pigs and a fruit and veg plot to feed us throughout the year.

One year later we have accomplished much more than we could possibly have imagined and although we continue with our 'Little Steps' the reality is more like giant lunges.
