Thank you I can so relate, we moved to Cornwall 8 months ago but found our home a year ago and I can honestly say I am in love and cannot now imagine being anywhere else. Really enjoyed reading your story - my Mother would have adopted that question as an opening line if she had thought of it! Lol why waste time getting to the point?!?

This is so lovely Kat, and what a great question from your mother. I might use it myself x

I believe all Mothers are embarrassing in some way. It maybe how they build character in their children. Thank you for the thoughtful words, providing great food for thought. And thanks for finding time to share your life with us.

My mother is embarrassing too! But everything you’ve written completely resonates with me- at the end of the day it all comes down to love doesn’t it? X

This is a beautiful story. I’m seeking a seasonal and intentional life and I have been a big fan of yours for a couple of years now. Thank you for the inspiration. X

Lovely story 💜 I’m a listener rather than a talker but I can relate to your Mum’s directness 😂 Maybe not an opening line to someone new for me but am going to ask my friends soon as I realise I don’t know what all their great loves are! Thanks Kat xx

Good morning Kat!

What beautifully written words to read first thing this morning whilst I wake up with a cup of coffee, next to my love story *happy smile*

Big hugs from the east coast of the North East (one day we'll move to our beloved Scotland).

Lovely to read about your love stories ❤️ I like that way of thinking about life.... off to contemplate my own.

Dear Kat - thank you for this in the midst of it all. Beautiful words, true words, and those hills. I understand. Thinking of you often as I too navigate a full-to-the-brim period of life. You are doing good work x

Oh, I am old and full of years, and I will not dwell on the loves who have been people, but the love that was a place I left behind, and forever, like James Taylor, I have Carolina on my mind.

This is wonderful. And, what kind of Mom do you call yourself, if you’re not embarrassing?

Kat, love this. I remember your Public Health days down here, and your brief stay in Ham (where I still am). You made all the right choices. Keep on shining! Love Karen x
