Wolves, first year, far enough to be away, close enough to get home... the last not necessarily a priority apparently.  ::)
It's better than I ever even knew.  They say that the world was built for two.  Only worth living if somebody is loving you.  Baby now you do.

Where in Wales you off too?  When I lived just outside Clun one of the rallies used to drive past our cottage on night drives regularly.  cloud9:

I used to go on these from the age of 12, great fun and saw a lot of Wales country albeit at night, in the dark and have no idea where.   And for some reason they always started from Hereford.  I was the younger sister and got to tag along with my sister.

Penmachno Forest...near Betwys Coed.
One of me favourites it is. cloud9:

There's a wooden cottage deep in there,  cloud9: the owners of which I got chatting to a few years ago when I was marshalling adjacent to it.
They brought me tea, butties and a CAKE on a tray too. cloud9:

I might pop in and see if they're ready for selling up yet. cloud9:
No leccy or running water either. cloud9:

All they can hear at night is the stream running, and wildlife rustling around....and OWL'S! cloud9:

I can do OWL impressions you know. :thumbsup:

My cottage did have running water and leccy, no gas and no TV. Nearest neighbour was over a mile away. cloud9:

Apart from the rallies all I could hear at night was the stream and the owls too. Here at night I can hear the river but surprisingly I very rarely hear owls. Send me yer owl impersonation like. :thumbsup:

Tipsy had more fun than me when she was a child. One house my parents owned backed onto Malvern Common when the circus visited I used to be sent with my elder sister, bucket in hand to collect elephant dung. noooo:

I bet Tipsy had red wellies too, I only ever had green ones. sad24:

That is what Uni is for ~ to learn how to live independently. Mini Moose has learned a valuable life skill there. How to operate a can opener safely. The THW has been to A&E for various injuries over the past 18 months. It seems that A&E Units close to universities see a lot of students.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

Actually thought I'd taught her the basics tbh, albeit on tins of beans and a grill. rubschin:

I'd have thought A&E would have been busier with possible  whistle: alchohol related injuries tbh? lol:

She's texteted me to tell me not to worry, and she doesn't require the new GROWLER Amboolance Emergency service either....shit. Banghead
