It's sad that these days people would rather send a text than to talk face to face or even call on the phone. It seems as though people think too highly of their time and use the more expeditious route without the investment of a more personal touch. I have a neighbor who would be the recipient of any extra eggs I would gather from my hens until he started to send one word texts like 'eggs?' I answered two times and afterwards simply ignored him. I would be out working in the garden and he would be outside doing something but instead of coming to the fence to ask about eggs he would send me those hideous texts. It was very off putting and so I now give them to another neighbor lol.
I applaud you for living your own life in your own style and for not letting the opinions of others sway you. In time those group meet ups will become more accepting and they will hopefully realize the strong, independant woman you are and appreciate you for your skills and talents.
Your niche is so full of charm, I love it. The tour of the medieval village was wonderful...it is a passion of mine. It must be very inspiring living there.
Oh gosh, dearest @tamaralovelace - what a story about the "eggs?"!!! Euch - I soooo dislike that kind of uncommunicative text-speak: especially when someone is presuming you will be giving them such a precious thing as fresh eggs! I really do not like bad grammar at the best of times, but cannot tolerate that kind of communication. It makes real responses with proper spelling and longer sentences, all the more valuable! Well done you for drawing the clear boundary 🥂☺️
I love that you love our centro storico: the positive response has made me think about sharing more photos of the old town - it is so beautiful, and it has in fact been ages since I went out and about just for the pleasure of taking gorgeous snaps.. I took a lot tonight on my way to get water from the fountain:
The water looks so refreshing. Is it spring water? Looking forward to more of your town snaps!
Yes, @tamaralovelace - there are lots of fountains around town, but this one is perportedly from a deeper-underground river and so should be the best water 🤗🤲
