Q Favourite episode for you in this season?
A 12 are you kidding. I was in control of a TWO HORSES and an entire carriage and as a side note i crashed it twice then finally nailed it. Massive achievement
I think it should be common knowledge that she has sewn every single element of every single garment and curtain on the whole show. Incredibly impressive. What I was pointing at ‘tis a secret that ‘twas betwixt you and me, Cait.

Meet ‘J’ an equestrian, lover of candle making and never says no to a flamboyant collar. Long beach walks with his pet kitten or a glass of peach wine preferred on a tiresome Monday. Never has any time for chit chat, it must always be a DEEP chat. @SamHeughan @Outlander_STARZ ❤️ pic.twitter.com/LEtZBXYBOK
