By chance, I met lady who said she’d converted a shed on her property to a flat and was looking for someone suitable to live there. She needed her animals and hens cared for so she could get away some weekends, plus garden help.
I followed her home to the farm. The flat has that brand-new smell, is well designed with a wide porch from which I can paint or survey fields and orchard. We found we had similar interests.
“It’s yours,” she said. “Don’t talk about long-term anything. It’s yours.” She’s even putting in a fridge and microwave, a raised veggie garden and carport. And there’s plenty of storage. It feels orchestrated for me.
Thank you, God.
