After a day of heavy electrical storms, I decided to go for a long run early evening as the thick air had now lifted leaving a crisp dewey atmosphere and perfect running conditions. I was running along merrily mulling over the meaning of life and I suddenly realized that I had not yet popped in on the inn's new neighbor, Brad, who had purchased the property next door as a weekend retreat and who I would periodically see tearing up the road on his ATV.
Its a beautiful property, tucked right back in the forest and totally secluded. Turns out that my visit coincided with Brad having a big old evening of debauchery ( very unusual in these parts... hmmm) so on my arrival, I was immediately handed a Gin and Tonic ( not what I 'thought' I needed post 'Lobster' night.. but actually worked wonders. Hair of the dog is a powerful tool ) and taken on a mini tour of the house.
It was very nice to pop in and see Brad in his new house and meet his mate Tim for a quick drink. I left them gearing up for a huge 'Buck and Doe' party down the road whilst I was filled with the wonderful after glow of gin as I tied up my trainers and hopped back into my running dream land as if I hadn't left it (I am apparently known in the area as 'runner girl' by virtually everyone within a radius of 10k - It a strange and wonderful thing to live in a small town)
And in other news:
1. Today was my first 'snake' sighting of the year. I have a special relationship with snakes and am sure they will be making regular appearances throughout the blog.
(FYI - I have the personal goal of picking up a snake [by the tail, always by the tail]).
I was unable to take a picture of the snake due to the speed of his evacuation.. but here is a taster of what is to come.
