It’s World Book Day, so an excuse to plug my bestselling novella 'Off the Record'. Slight awkwardness though. The guy I dedicated it to hasn’t spoken to me since it was published. 😬 Coincidence? Maybe. Because of the book? Also maybe. Oh, and fair warning, it’s a little spicy. 🥵 mybook.to/VYvHwG

No people. No rain. Just snow, blue skies, and frozen lochs. The Highlands delivered today. Why don't I do this more often? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❄️ #ScottishHighlands

Two men. 33 Years growing up side by side, and we’re still figuring it out. We’ve changed jobs, hairlines and postcodes, but we never stopped choosing each other. Love isn’t loud. It’s steady. It’s staying. ❤️ #valentines

NEW VLOG 👇🏻 Three weeks of storms have finished off what was left of our chicken enclosure roof, so we’re patching it up till the spring. We’re testing a solar generator, recycling cardboard into fuel, and being honest about isolation in the Highlands. 🤯 youtu.be/3HvplVMICQg

From the Leeds and Liverpool Canal to New York… We’ve made it in America! 🇺🇸😂 Cosmopolitan magazine approached us for Valentine’s Day feature, talking honestly about long-term love ❤️ Read it here 👉 www.cosmopolitan.com/relationship...

Still love the quiet. Still love home. 🏡 But I’m learning that too much time alone with my own head isn’t great for me. 🤯 I’m not brilliant at making connections, but that doesn’t mean I don’t need it. 🫣 So this is me acknowledging that something needs to shift, gently, in the right direction. ♥️

In 2000, I combined my love of naturism with my passion for teaching fitness. Over time, it became about far more than training. It helped people move better, feel stronger, and be more comfortable in their own body. I’ve shared a FREE Patreon post about my journey 👇🏻 www.patreon.com/posts/why-iv...

NEW VLOG 👇🏻 Floodwater closed in around our croft.
 Fields underwater, the road blocked, and no clear way out. Our new vlog is live 🎥

Back where I’d love to live! Our first of what will no doubt be many trips to Edinburgh in 2026. Photo taken from the balcony of my favourite hotel. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

📼 AUTUMN/WINTER 1987 📼 Ollie models the ‘Stayed In All Day’ blanket range. Soft paw-print fleece, effortless side-pose, eyes saying “I’ve done my bit.” 🐶🐾

Not a rainbow.
Not a lens flare. This is a sun dog.
A companion Sun created when ice crystals bend light high in the atmosphere. Cold air. Low Sun. Highlands doing their thing.

Before the stills warm and the day begins, the Highlands put on a show. Fire in the sky 🔥 and purity in the water from the melted snow ❄️ That’s why our local whisky is the best! 🥃

Just one moment from several days trapped by heavy snow in the Highlands. ❄️☃️🥶 He’s fine. His pride took a little longer to recover. 😂 www.youtube.com/shorts/duSU_...

Watching this back, it’s strange how quickly “normal” disappears. Five days snowed in, no road access, and the slow realisation that we were properly cut off. This vlog is simply what those days were like. youtu.be/cdCFlKBMfBA

Early-morning walk, and feeling lucky to wake up to views like this. A pink sunrise over the snow-covered east coast of Sutherland.

Cut off by a blizzard for five days in the Scottish Highlands. 🥶 Snow drifts over a metre deep, no road access, and the croft buried. ❄️ This video is a quiet, honest look at what those days were really like. 🎥 youtu.be/cdCFlKBMfBA

Posted something quiet today. 🤫 You might want it. ♥️ youtube.com/shorts/PiOw4...

Calm, meet chaos.

To live with this view is a dream come true. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿♥️

One for the size queens...📏

Snapped this earlier today at the loch. ❄️ The cloud formation looked spectacular, almost out of a horror movie. 🫣 The photo doesn’t do it justice. What causes that? 🤔

The Highlands reminding you it’s pretty, but doesn’t mess about.

It started snowing three days ago and just won't stop! ❄️☃️ (It's squashed our chicken enclosure, but the hens are okay) 🐔 youtube.com/shorts/nTL1z...

A thick blanket of snow is already covering the croft, and it’s not forecast to stop for another few days. ❄️☃️🥶 Proper winter! 👍🏻 youtube.com/shorts/dFqRs...

A wall of snow, almost like a tsunami rising from the sea, heading for the shore. ❄️🌊

Proof that some days end better than they start. ♥️

Foxes Christmas 2025. Great gifts, good friends and neighbours, too much food, and now I’m ready to take the tree down! 🎄😂 I hope yours was as perfect as it could be. Here’s to a Happy Hogmanay. 🥳

No snow this Christmas Eve, just haar rolling in off the sea, blanketing the croft. The sun rising over it like a quiet secret. ☀️

A valuable beekeeping lesson: 🤔 Never fart near a beehive 🐝💨 Sound on 🔊 youtube.com/shorts/z0SH9...

Our final orders will leave on Thurs 18th Dec, a day before Royal Mail’s final posting date of Fri 19th. After that… it’s in their hands 🤞📮 Order early to avoid festive stress. 🤯

The Highlands, being dramatic again. 🌧️

Highland sunrise this morning absolutely showing off. The sky on fire and clouds doing their best ‘end of days’ impression. A totally normal morning up here before the kettle even boiled. ☕️

Watching Top of the Pops 1988 Christmas Special. One of my favourite music years. I was 16 and completely in love with Nathan Moore from Brother Beyond. 😍 No… More in love than that! 🤤😮‍💨💦 Who was your teen-crush? 🥰

Opened the back door to go feed Sherlock and saw the Northern Lights are playing out tonight! 🤩

Just posted an exclusive video for our Patreon and YouTube Members on the aftermath of Storm Bram across the croft 💨 Supporters can watch here (or you can join up!) 👉🏻 www.patreon.com/posts/exclus...

Storm Bram has arrived. Winds gusting to 80mph. 💨 Whenever we get high winds, I always wonder if tonight’s the night our 140-year old chimney will crash through the roof, crushing us to death in our bed? 😵 #AlwaysLookOnTheBrightSideOfLife 😂

Hand’s up if you think Shaun should have his own channel dedicated to cakes 🍰
