Picture This

In Sussex the view from our windows looks like this:

Here are some photos from our most recent trip to Rum...
minutes after we were told we'd got the croft we walked down to the beach to get phone reception to ring family and friends and share our news. As we stood looking out over the sea a rainbow appeared.

not a traffic jam in sight

looking out over the view


the bridge over the river that runs along the bottom of our croftland

happiness looks a lot like this...



Not a difficult choice to make really...

  6. It looks fantastic - what a thrill!

    When we moved to Cornwall, we sold our house in Cheshire which has similar views to start life house sitting a 7 acre smallholding. I remember that feeling when the 5 of us found out we'd been chosen... It's Wonderful!

    Hope everything falls into place smoothly.

    Kay :)

  10. so exciting - looks so beautiful (and empty!) and of course the bonus is you all get to decide how your croft is worked/built. Looking forward to hearing all about it.
