Roger has been a friend since we moved here, he lived in the house opposite us and when his wife died he couldn’t bare the memories rattling around the empty rooms. He sold his house with the thought of building a cabin on the land he owns up the road... but he needed a place to live in the interim. We suggested he live in our house, by then empty because we’d moved here, to which he agreed. He said he’d only stay for the time it took to either build or buy a cabin. That was eight years ago!
He has no relatives bar his housebound sister in Paris so I look after him as best I can... it’s not enough ever due my work and animals but he is always glad to see me. And I him... we help each other!
I wish wish wish I could send you some rain Pipp! When I was walking the dog this morning before work, in the dark I could hear water running in places I’ve never heard water before... the hill is so saturated there are rivers running down in great gullies! It is a sight I only ever seen during flash thunder storms in summer and then only because the ground is too dry to let it soak in and it’s gone in minutes... I am truly over it as I’m sure you are the drought... MN is being very bloody minded if you ask me! 😂 x
You’re very kind Pipp, thank you so much.
