This is a groundbreaking episode of Blether Together - as Sarah Stephen meets our first ever husband and wife duo – Willie Thomson and Anna Davies.

Anna and Willie are tenants on a 250-acre arable farm near Haddington.

They recently converted a steading into co-working spaces. Anna also runs rural PR and marketing firm Scene and Herd, and hosts Scottish farming podcast OnFARM.

It’s a busy life – but recent health challenges for Willie have prompted a change in pace and approach.
