I'm very aware that when in use by Shepherds all those years ago these Huts were rather a basic living space with sacks of straw to sleep on and non of the fancy wooden furniture you find in them now... but they are incredibly appealing and cosy and they do conjure up so many thoughts. And there is something appealing in the fact that the huts can be moved around and taken to all sorts of locations amongst fields and woodland and hills...
These images were all taken at a wonderful location we stayed in very recently, deep in the hills of the Scottish Borders, a gorgeous place which definitely felt very remote and away from it all, just what we needed. The huts themselves are wonderful and the location is stunning, there were so many little details of textures, colours, patterns and different combinations of these at every turn. We found ourselves creating stories and anecdotes about everything - as well as breathing deep restful breaths at the lack of "stuff" and clutter... Its such an interesting experience to live in a small space for a while and to not need so much stuff... Getting up early and sitting out watching the mist roll over the hills as you sup your morning coffee... cooking and eating outside, lighting the fire and watching the dusk roll in and night fall as bats and owls flit about and call... All very peaceful and idyllic. I'm very aware that its an escape from many other things, but an escape which recharges the batteries and gives strength to return to all the other things.
