In a first for Blether Together, we are joined by not one but two guests for a lively, warm and open conversation.
Host Sarah Stephen met with Russ Mill and Glen McLellan to find out more about the annual Come Ashore Cup, taking place on Saturday 7th June at Orkney Rugby Club.
The event was set up in 2022 by Russ, in memory of his cousin and popular Caithness farmer Alexander Mill who sadly died by suicide in 2021. Tune in to hear Sarah, Russ and Glen discuss just how important social events like this one are for farmers, crofters and the agricultural community, to get off farm and come together for a bit of fun and laughter, and why Glen says it’s a day that really “fills his bucket”.
