The Peaceful Chapel

I love this chapel in Cotehele woods just sitting above the river. So simple and peaceful. Oscar much happier doing this walk for the second time - until a terrier attacked him! No harm done but the terrier got him down and sounded quite ferocious. His elderly owner was so apologetic, we'd been having a nice chat! I told him not to worry, no harm done and Oscar had to learn the signs that some dogs don't want to play! We carried on with our walk and got to the outlook spot, it always gives me great pleasure to look at the village and count myself so fortunate to be living there! 
The Exile came round in the evening, she was supposed to be eating with me but had a bit of an upset stomach - she thought it was something she ate. That amused me as we had only the other week had a discussion about " Best before" dates!  I have realised she has become quite entrenched in her beliefs and will not even listen to alternative viewpoints, which can be quite frustrating. Maybe it's just her current situation, looking for a  job and settling back into the village and her new single life. I'm tending to avoid going down the rabbit hole with all that in mind and because I'm not feeling so good myself. I seem to have constant trapped wind that no amount of peppermint tea and antacid tablets will relieve. I'm not allowing it to stop me doing things but it's physically painful and emotionally unsettling. Having Oscar is wonderful but training a puppy is exhausting at times, he is also settling in after all! The cats still haven't accepted him and I feel anxious about them! It's hard making time for them, Oscar, the hens and my own meditation! But I know all will settle with time we'll get to a peaceful place of coexistence!
