Hi folks,

I'm loving the thread, lovely to read and share our magical stories. Thanks Trinity for initiating it. Here’s one of mine that comes to mind...

Since returning to Edinburgh I had been feeling the desire to find a home in a more rural location, yet within easy access to the city. I went to visit a flat in a village called Polton Mill, while it affirmed my desire to be closer to nature, it didn't feel like quite the right spot... so a couple of days later after a dance class I connected with a friend who happened to be at the dancing class too, she had her dog with her and so invited me to join them for a walk. When she inquired as to where I am living, I told her I had been to see a place in Lasswade though it wasn't quite right (but, it wasn't Lasswade, the location I had visited was a couple of villages further out)!

She then tells me that she is living in Lasswade and potentially looking for a flatmate… When I went to visit her there, the directions stated that it was the third road on the left, as I walked towards my destination, I looked into the houses on the third right admiringly and felt they would make a wonderful home and yes you probably guessed it - this is where she lived on the right side and not the left...

And so I am now settling in to my new home in Lasswade, discovering delightful river and glen walks. This morning a deer and I exchanged a greeting and the bird song here is awesome, including owls hooting at night. I’m loving spending time with the dog, she’s even slept on my bed. I feel ever so blessed and grateful.

I’m very much looking forward to visiting Glastonbury for Trinity’s Empath course next week, sorry to have missed you Aspasia, I look forward to seeing you in June instead or who knows where :) Open, I love the Mustang story – fantastic! Cathy - how heartbreakding for the poor crab :(

With love from my full and grateful heart,

Fiona
