Neighbours

I walked down to the shop in the village today, did my stuff. The people in the village seem very open and friendly. This is a good thing.
The lady in the shop told me about a way back up to the cottage through the woods. There's a waterfall, which I photographed, but it didn't come out very well. There's also lots of bluebells at the moment and my picture came out rather well.
I also met my nearest neighbour, Terry. He's a mountain of a man and we had a good chat for about half an hour. He said he'd bring a rotovator to my garden so I can plant some vegetables. he said I'd better get on with it as it was getting late in the year to be planting. Late in the year! Its freezing still. Its supposed to be May, but its so cold.
Terry lives in an old house a few hundred yards away over the fields. I'm looking forward to meeting  his wife Ellie. Maybe we could have a drink or something. If I'm honest, I'm starting to feel just a bit isolated here. I may go for a long walk to explore a bit.
I have the fire lit every night and I have a few candles lit. Its quite cosy.  I might get a cat. A cat would be just the thing.
