Christmas is closing in fast, so Cameron has been spending every spare minute in the kitchen preparing dishes for our hybrid British-Swedish Christmas celebrations. We'll be enjoying a traditional Swedish "julbuffet" on Christmas Eve, and then a lavish British lunch on Christmas Day, with the addition of Cameron's customary pork pies. Meanwhile, Stina was excited to finally receive our first order of bareroot fruit trees to be planted around the site. These will be the foundation of the Food Forest - full of potential for the New Year.

Shout out to [ Ссылка ] for their very sensible slug management suggestion, and here is also a link to Alan Carter, the Aberdeen Food Forester mentioned in the video: [ Ссылка ]

OUR STORY: After 20 years of moving around, in July 2024 we finally moved into what we hope will be our forever home: A 0.2 acre plot of land with a cottage in rural South-West Scotland. It's a place we never imagined we'd be able to call our own. The house and grounds are tired and in need of rejuvenation, but this is great for us because we love gardening and DIY projects that involve restoring old houses. We've also always loved the idea of starting a semi self-sufficient homestead as part of a more sustainable lifestyle. Join us on our journey.
