Home. Today is a Fell day. I'm up on my beloved Howgill's treading a familiar path. My company is that of Shadow, sheep and swifts that whirl then twirl about the folds of gentle fells. Warm winds blow that tangle hair. Saturday a day for solitude and silence. @NFUCountryside 🐑

@ffionhooson0 Please please DM me. I farm alone. I have done for 10 years whilst raising my daughter. It’s been bloody tough, heartbreaking, backbreaking, lonely, three times I’ve nearly had to give up my farm but then I dug in. Let’s talk. I’m a huge fan of yours. Hugs. 💚 @woolismybread 🐑

Highland Fling. A year ago I returned from a wonderful Scottish trip and told my dad all about it. He said “I’ll never see it Lass .. I’m too old “ A year later here we are .. it’s wet, wild and wonderful.. my nearly 91 years old dad is loving it. #nevertooold 🏔🌲🦌🦌🏔🦌🌲❤️
