in order to feel normal....

 ** don't go**

 beautiful town

i love this house

 homeward bound to the forest i love

i try to get out and about at least a few times a month..

 i know to most only leaving the house on two occasions in an entire month sounds odd but i have no school run to do, no outside work and food can be delivered to the gate and so the weeks pass me by...

and the fact that i am chased up the drive by hens and a certain sheep who then tries to cram herself through the gate desperate to come with me, looking all lost and worried... ack it is a surprise that i leave at all!

but in order to stay slightly sane i trundle in to town, or out to visit precious pals to catch up on news and to see actual people and not just animals.

today was one of those days.

i needed pegs and a plant.

i was left uninspired by the towns peg offerings {{i am a fussy peg person} but i did bring home a new plant friend, and from the charity shop two wooden coat hangers and four circular needles for the grand sum of £1

life's essentials...

beside the joy of clutching a new plant pal in my hands the best part of my jaunt out was seeing a new to me friend totally by chance, having only met once in real life before,we passed each other in the supermarket and did that awkward half smile do i know you kinda thing - you know the one?

two isles down we found ourselves both gazing at the chocolate and both our brains clicked into place :)

i left with a smile and a treasure from our meeting.

honestly the kindness of some makes me feel so hopeful in this otherwise rather scary world....
