Christmas at Our Scottish Cottage & the Office Upgrade Continues 🎄🛠️ | Ep67

Christmas at our old Scottish stone cottage 🎄🕯️

In this week’s episode, we’re sharing some cosy highlights from Christmas Day at the cottage, opening presents and enjoying a slower pace of life in the countryside with our Labrador Benji and our new puppy, Alfie 🐾

After the festivities, the office upgrade continues. Johnny gets back to work by lifting the old laminate flooring and underlay and laying brand new underlay and beautiful dark wood flooring. It’s a big milestone in the ongoing office refurbishment and brings the design one step closer to becoming a finished, functional space.

If you’ve been following our recent office updates, this episode marks a real turning point — and if you’re new here, welcome to life in an old Scottish stone cottage as we slowly renovate, learn as we go, and settle into country living with two Labradors who are now getting along like a house on fire ❤️

Thanks so much for watching and for all the support over the festive period.

Johnny, Adam, Benji & Alfie 🐾
