Oh this is such a lovely, warming read!! I hope to move to Scotland at some point in my life for this very reason - I want the elements to have full control!

This was such a cozy read- it's made me want to move to the countryside (not that there was much convincing me!)

That's so kind of you to say Julia, thank you! Countryside living has its pitfalls and challenges, but the sense of community and stillness and simplicity makes up for it all tenfold.

It’s giving ‘the holiday’ and I’m here for it. Also, that Annie Spratt image... perfection.
