Ahh, so perfectly written... and so relatable, I smiled all the way through your story and yes, I shall also admit laughter. You did succeed brilliantly in the entertainment of very difficult guests. Thank you for sharing 💜
Thank you so very much, I am delighted that you laughed, truly... it is better (I think) to see the humour in these little difficulties than to wallow in the frustration... and I’m sure, at least I hope, such an attitude is character building! 🙏🏽💛
Ha... second thought is that rolling in my mud is ultimately enjoyable too, which is wallowing, right? In that way I reach the dregs, where I often find truths like gemstones. They and I shine bright after a shower when we are done rolling ;)
Your words and photos convey all the magic that slips past us when we are living those difficult moments. Perhaps its because I see your heart and soul so readily brimming with love, and you simply feel the pain of bursting. I hope you and the sheep are relieved of your burdens. Sending hugs and consolations in trying times xxx
I know you, of all people Rae, would understand my discomfort this last week. I pine for quiet moments when I won’t feel guilty about taking... they are close now... I hear the call of the wilderness and I know it will wait.
One day I will learn to say that little word without feeling that I have caused someone too much upset... I hope only that it is soon.
My sheep are now happily grazing, minus their woolly burdens, my turn will follow... in the meantime I have an order of a traditional roast dinner to prepare - a worry in itself because it’s been thirty years since the last. 🤞🏽
Sending sunny kisses to you Rae... I hope this Sunday is kind to you xxxx
I will tell all darling... when we speak..! I’m hanging in there - just! I’ve had easier weeks at school though....😂Biggest love - I’m escaping to my hill for a few minutes....💕xxxx
Oi Oi Oi Vey! Words fail me... trying to find the right ones to console you during this dreadful drama. Reminds me of this quote "guests who stay longer than 2 days start to stink like fish". I'm positive July will make up for June. A beautiful dawn capture. Love n hugs Sweetest Susie.
Thank you Lesley, I usually love having people here to stay, I make enormous effort to accommodate them with smiles, good and healthy homegrown food and country goings on - but I am honestly lost this time.. and close to defeat which is not like me at all. 🙏🏽😢
Coming straight on top of a busy school term, you must be exhausted. I'm sure you needed a break more than accommodating awkward guests. I do hope you have time to relax and re-gather your strength and energies very soon 🤞

A far cry from NY definitely! I hope you're smiling Darren🙂 magic mornings are quite a thang here recently... ✨

Hold on to that thought Darren.. dreams do come true! 🎵
What an absolute nightmare! I wish you peace and tranquility 🤞

I did Lesley, it was terrible timing and more than likely why I’m dealing with them with little compassion... next week, I hope, I can rest! X
Thank you lovely… it’s definitely not my finest hour..! 😂 xxx
I am definitely not laughing at you, but I do have a smile on my face. Courage Susie! 💚
