10 days countdown: Where are we going?

With 10 days until we embark on our new adventure, an adventure into the unknown, we are becoming increasingly excited and nervous! 

We have been sitting on our project for a while, not wanting to give too many details away, but, as it is now upon us we are ready to tell all about our project.

We are moving from South Wales all the way up to Orkney!   It's a long long way, both in distance and emotionally.  We have handed in our notices at work and are finding our replacements, have all packed up apart from the essentials that we are needing and are psyching ourselves up for the mammoth road trip! 

​We are going to a small island in Orkney called Eday, which is in the Northern Isles.  It has a population of 150, one shop and one pub.

We have big plans and big ambitions for our smallholding, many of the ideas will take a few years to establish, and we have been frantically researching and finding out as much information as we can.  It's going to be an amazing adventure, but with hard work and a little help from friends, we will be able to build up our smallholding from the bare bones!

Over the next few days in the build up to our grand adventure, we will tell you a lot more about the area, the smallholding and the lifestyle we aim to recreate!
