When chicken dream big ! 🐴🐴🐴

Living that with our new feathered friend. This adventurous clucker has been living with our lovely horse and Shetland for a whole month now !

She knows how to strut her stuff, and has found its freedom on the farm😍😍

Home brew 🍻🍻

Brewing my own apple cider vinegar from freshly picked Harestone apples!
I start everyday with a shot of this, so trying to make my own.

But tonight, it's time for shots of a different kind. Cheers to the weekend! 🥂

Wildflower pond edge🌾🌸🌾🌸

Spent the last couple of weekends getting my hands dirty and planting out pond edge wildflowers. Hoping to create a stunning oasis for humans and bees alike next year!

A royal Cairn 👑👑👑

Upon the death of Queen Victoria’s great love, a huge pyramid-shaped cairn was erected on the grounds of Balmoral Castle, inscribed with
‘To the beloved memory of Albert the great and good Prince Consort. Erected by his broken hearted widow Victoria R. 21st August 1862.’

We had a lovely walk to the cairns, a visit to Balmoral castle, and lunch in charming Ballater.
Feeling lucky to have these incredible historical treasures right in our doorstep !

From bombs to beauty 🌳🌳🌳

During the Second World War Harestone Moss was set up as a decoy site (Q site) for RAF Dyce airfield and was bombed on 4 occasions !

Embracing history and nature's resilience, we're lucky to have transformed Harestone Moss into a nature haven.
