This episode takes us deep into the quiet details of life at the cottage — the kind of tasks that seem small on the surface, but somehow carry the weight and rhythm of real living.
Scott lifts a section of the old floor covering to explore exactly where the pipework will go for Katie’s new bath.
Out in the byre, we take a look at the timber that’s arrived for the sheep shed — a solid stack of beams and boards, full of promise. There's something about seeing it all lined up and ready that makes the project feel suddenly real.
But the quiet heart of the episode happens in the simplest of moments: Katie finds a struggling bumblebee, exhausted and still, and gently feeds it raw honey from a spoon. It’s a moment of kindness, instinctive and full of care, and a reminder that this life — for all its structure and plans — is really about connection. To each other, to the land, and to the smallest of things that share it with us.
There's no grand drama here — just honest, meaningful moments: a floor lifted, a shed prepared, a bee saved. And perhaps that’s what makes this episode special.
Thank you, as always, for walking with us.
