It's good that we postponed our trip to Milton's Cottage to today and did outdoor things yesterday, because this morning we awoke to thunder and hardcore rain.  Last night Katherine messaged me to see if I wanted to go to The Trout, this pub about a 45 minute walk that sits right on a river of some sort.  I was a bit iffy on it at first, but when

Poor Milton...he should have more visitors than that. I mean, how can you read just the beginning of Paradise Lost and not want to see Milton's hacienda? That face in the pool is creepy, but you and the Moops are precious as always, and Katherine looks like a cutie-pie too! :-)

So move over and make room for her!

MWAH!

That cottage has secret passages that lead to both heaven and hell, of course. Duh indeed.

Love you.

I love the cottage, but I'd have to reconsider the lifelike drowning person in my pond. I mean, I'd use a pond to relax, sit by with my feet in the cool water, maybe have a few carp swimming about. . . not to be reminded of watery suicide attempts.

I was a bit more than taken aback when I saw that, to be sure. Not as creepy as finding a spider trying to eat your face, but creepy nonetheless. :)
