31st

New Years eve, thinking about another film, but were in Ancrum tonight, wishing all my subscribers, supporters and viewers a happy new year.

Before us a customer purchased the last bottle of Baileys in St Boswells, but we then purchased the last bottle of Baileys in Jedburgh.

30th

At sunset, I flew my drone to Timpendean Tower, which was once a fortress of the Douglas family.

Seeing my YouTube videos gain views; I never thought I'd get to interact with such amazing people as my audience.

29th

Uploading two films on BT Broadband is going very, very slow; but they are uploading. Tractor is the name of the first movie, and Sheep is the name of the second movie. My movies are unable to upload at Woodburn, necessitating my return to Ancrum. I took a stroll around Chapel Hill today, which is in close proximity to the Chisholme Institute.

Later that afternoon, I went back to Woodburn and found one of my soldiers' heads cut off. He was stuck in the wall, so he couldn't have fallen; if he did, he would have hit the soft grass. When people hate you, life is difficult, but it is not as difficult for the hated as it is for the haters; for the hated have the choice of forgiveness, God bless them.

28th

Shot two films today, both twenty plus minutes long focusing on sheep wefare and tractor movement.

To emphasize the walk through minimalist content, I gave my films one or two-word titles.

27th

Coding HTML today, filming on the 28th.

26th

Today, on Boxing day, we drove to Hermitage castle.

I also took my drone over Whitrope Heritage Centre.

The weather was ideal for a drone flight, so I hope you liked these photos.

25th

Happy Christmas! Our Christmas was quiet but...

...this was the first Christmas I did not feel alone.

24th

We drove into Hawick to do some shopping and to upload a heavily edited Waterloo Monument film to YouTube.

Sainsbury's supermarket car park Hawick.

Launching from a public viewpoint, my drone was overwhelmed not only with Wifi points, but by a radio trasmitter.

23rd

I find it odd that Instagram alerts me more than any other app; the site has never shared my photos; it's always been one-way.⁣ It was the same on Facebook until viewers reached out to me via YouTube. My next film is titled Waterloo Monument; I also took drone pictures of Monteviot House and Harestanes.

As Derrida's ghost, you'll be stigmatised to survive within the shadow of zealots who enjoy denying you the moments that make you who you are. Advocates attribute this unseen crucifixion to John 1:14, and the term "sharing" is widely employed to describe this insidious scapegoat mechanism, which is possessed driven by Girard's mimetic desires.

22nd

Today we filmed St Abbs, film taking long time to upload to YouTube, require faster internet connection.

Drone pictures of Eyemouth.

We had to rush back to Ancrum as Charlie had to attend an appointment with a nurse in Hawick.

21st

Rambling and wild camping served as an adventurous lifestyle alternative to being homeless before my relocation to the Scottish Borders.

I intend to engage with viewers from this activity whilst re-establishing my health and fitness, as well as restoring a sense of outdoor adventure and fortitude. It is time for me to cease burning generalised anxieties and memorising hypervigilant curiosity. I will have a route and destination, and I'll be returning home blessed with Charlie.⁣

To create a YouTube video, we visited the William Wallace monument.

We had a great time on the adventure and shared it with our YouTube audience.

20th

Purchased a new lambswool jumper for Charlie in Hawick.

Aerial view of a historic town centre with tightly packed stone buildings, slate roofs, and narrow streets. A prominent clock tower rises above surrounding blocks, while a river and industrial area run behind. Sunlit hills, trees, and neighbourhood's spread outward, creating a layered urban landscape under clear skies today now.

Charlie made a stop at Denholm on the way to Hawick.

An aerial view shows a small town surrounding a large green common. A central stone monument stands amid open grass, with rugby goalposts and a fenced playground nearby. Rows of houses, parked cars, roads, and rolling farmland extend outward, under daylight. Trees line the edges, suggesting a quiet rural community.
A top-down aerial view shows a small, square fenced monument set within a vast green lawn. The central stone structure is surrounded by shrubs and small trees arranged symmetrically. Benches line the enclosure, while uninterrupted grass stretches outward in all directions, emphasising isolation and geometric order.

Burnfoot Cemetery.

An aerial view shows a small, rectangular graveyard bordered by low stone walls and trees, set within open farmland. Gravestones cast long shadows across the grass, suggesting low sunlight. A narrow road runs along the top edge, with a parked car nearby, emphasising the rural, isolated setting.

The condition of the chimney at Woodburn Farmhouse was assessed, anticipating the installation of a wood burner.

After that, we travelled to Kelso.

We returned to Ancrum, ugh.

I visited Old Ancrum before sun down for a few more drone shots.

Seen Santa Claus tonight, he last came past my house on the 14th December 2024.

18th

I took Charlie to his appointment at Borders General Hospital.

Went shopping in Galashiels, which enabled me to decorate our Christmas tree.⁣

17th

Look at these pair of headbangers!

Fighting over access to a lick bucket.

16th

I have trouble sleeping and am often awake between 2am and 4am working on this website, it's the only time when my thoughts are calm. I filmed another film today, visited my friend Joyce, and then captured the WHO cairn near Roberton.

In my next movie, I discuss Rev. Ken Leech and his cast-away victims, the East End Marxists' focal point of multicultural extremism. Beyond silent repression I'll go into further detail on this important topic, ice picking at chilling impunity that anxiety-driven silence harbours.

15th

Took a walk along the Woodburn Farmhouse paddock to get some fresh air. Yesterday, the wind hit the farmhouse hard until midnight.

Charlie's land grabbing neighbour; the construction site is messy, the builders are obnoxious and rude. She had purchased the stone barn, but she later wanted the wooden barn as well. She owns land on the right side up to the silver house, all together this is three times Charlie's land. The landlord is currently seeking to acquire the land up to the poly tunnel in order to construct an access drive to the septic tank, resulting in the Woodburn Farmhouse being confined to the hillside. Developers of buildings are despicable.

Slabs on Woodburn Bridge and passing posts have been toppled; reporting this to the SBC, it's disgraceful, and potentially criminal.

I went for a walk to Chapel Hill and used my drone to take pictures of a boat house.

The drone was used to capture one final sunset photograph.

14th

I am taking a three- to four-day break from filming to catch up on other things. I am happy to be leaving Ancrum, but they hate me because I live here, and my house is my home. Even with the constant insults to gaslight me, I haven't harmed anyone in my sixteen months here. When they direct their venom at me, they curse themselves; reap what you sow, tenfold.

Monstrosities that are cruel inherit their monstrosity. I assisted Charlie in the process of erecting a Christmas tree this afternoon. I've connected the lights to a smart plug, that'll activate them at sundown, deactivate them at sunrise. The tree fell over before we added more ballast because it's windy. Borthwick Valley is being lashed by the wind at Woodburn.

13th

While we were in Kelso, I took this picture of Selkirk Abbey from a drone.

Enjoyed cake and coffee at Mayfield Garden Centre.

In addition, we went to Hume Castle and filmed there. Our film underwent a minor edit tonight, and it is currently being reuploaded.
