A super way to keep up with what's happening in Wigtown. Have a listen. 😊

With the days getting colder and darker, and as it becomes more difficult to figure out what episode we're on, Jayne talks to Penny about the community takeover of the local hotel. Later, she's joined by regular guests Ruth, from Well Read Books, and Lou, from New Chapter, to talk about...well, all....

A very sad day here at Courtyard Cottages, as we say goodbye to our dearest Susie Sheep. 😢

Susie was here with the previous owner and we estimate she could've been well into her 20s.

Super friendly, a bit stubborn and very, very cuddly, Susie leaves a massive hole in our hearts. 💔
