Village Life in Scotland 🌿 Q&A, Sandblasting Prep & Adam’s Tattie Contest | Episode 51

Welcome back! This is Episode 51 🎉
In this week’s vlog we’re picking up where we left off with Q&A Part 2, answering more of your fantastic questions we didn’t have time for last week.

Alongside the Q&A, it’s been a busy week at the cottage:

🎨 Adam takes on painting the porch exterior (but of course, nothing’s ever straightforward here 😅).

🥔 It’s the annual village tattie contest — will Adam’s spuds make him proud?

🪨 We prep the cottage exterior, ready for the sandblasters to strip away years of non-breathable paint.

As always, thank you so much for following along with our cottage journey. Your support means the world to us ❤️🐾
