global surge in gas prices isn’t much of a concern on Lynbreck Croft. The 150-acre farm in the foothills of the Cairngorms isn’t even connected to the gas grid and relies solely on a wood-burning stove to heat the small log cabin where Lynn Cassells and Sandra Baer live.Similarly, impending war in Ukraine or Downing Street scandals barely resonate when there is no television to watch the evening news.As for when Covid first struck and the nation was gripped by panic buying, the pair instead took stock of the kitchen garden in which they grow 95 per cent of the fruit and vegetables they eat, the well that provides their water supply, their beehives, and the freezers filled with cuts of meat from their own livestock, and figured they’d get through the pandemic just fine.‘We’ve started to become really good at stepping back and getting on with our lives here,’ explains Lynn, 43.This is the good life; the one we have all dreamt of in the past two years of rolling lockdowns and general dystopia.After falling in love while working at the National Trust, six years ago Lynn and Sandra quit their jobs, left behind family and friends and moved to Lynbreck Croft, a centuries-old smallholding along an ancient drovers’ road about five miles outside the town of Grantown-on-Spey.

Vegan cheez, tofu scramble, cauliflower steak or chickpea curry: meat-free cho-ices have never been so great. I’m quite envious of the modern ‘plant-based’ posse: when I gave up meat for a decade back in the ’80s, I was lucky to be offered a baked potato with congealed cheese.But it’s not all rosy: if you are an old-fashioned veggie, who prefers to get their protein from eggs and cheese rather than ‘plant-based meat and dairy alternatives’, it can feel like the vegetarian option has been pushed off the menu.
