Meet Roddy and Shell
We're a couple in our nifty fifties who found our little slice of paradise in 2024. What was once a humble hay field used for grazing cattle has been lovingly transformed over the past year into a peaceful, park-like oasis.
With a vision for tranquillity and simplicity we truly cherish the peace and serenity this place offers—and we’re excited to share the calm and beauty we’ve created here.
