Sally Grathenway jogged down the path that led to her house. She pulled out the keys and opened the door. She shut the door then turned to the kettle. Sally wondered what the neighbours would be like. People had moved in next to them, at Laurel River Farm. Sally wondered if one of them would come to say hello or not. Sally put he kettle onto boil then checked her watch. The woman adjusted her ponytail and then poured out her cUp of tea. Sally sat down at the table with her tea and picked up the paper.

Catlin grabbed the cakes she just baked out of the oven. They were still quite hot but thats how she likes them. She put them into a tub, grabbed her keys and walked to the door. She walked out of her new house and locked the door behinde her. She walked down the path leading to the road. She was so happy to have finally moved onto their own yard. It was great for cody too. She unhatched the gate catch and walked out leaving the gate to slam behinde her. She was going to say hello to the nextdoor neighbours. She opened their gate and walked up there path. She looked around. Lovely place they have. When she arrived at the door she rang the bell and waited.

Sally flicked through the paper and sipped her tea. It was a nice sunny afternoon and Sally was planning on going for a ride later on. But for now, she was going to have some time to relax with the paper and a cup of tea. She looked up as the doorbell rang. Sally got up and placed down her cup of tea. She picked up the keys and went to the door. She opened the door and smiled at the lady outside. This lady was obviously a neighbour. Sally smiled. "Hi. Come on in. I take it that your my neighbour?" Aall asked kindly as she welcomed the woman in.

Catlin was admiring the land when the door opened. "Hi," she said smiling, "thank you," she said wiping her feet on the mat before walking in "These are for yoi," she said handing the lady the box of cakes "they're fresh." Catline looked around the house, it was as beautiful as the land was.

Sally nodded and said. "Your welcome. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Sally. " Sally grinned when she handed over the cakes. "Yum. They look lovely. I can't wait to try one. Thank you. " Sally indicated the living room. "Through there. Sit down. "Sally followed Caitlin through to the lounge.

"nice to meet you too, Catline," she said smiling "I hope you like them." Catline followed where Sally pointed and sat down on the sofa. "Nice place you've got here, how long have you lived here?" she asked. Again, another lovely room. She looked around at the horse pictures on the walls. Some beautiful creatures.

Sally smiled. "Caitlin. That's a lovely name to go with a lovely person. " Sall sat down and then asked. "Would you like a drink?" Sally nodded. "Let's have one now. With our drinks. " Sally waited for the response to her question and blushed when Caitlin commented on te house. "Thanks. I'm sure you're is lovely two. " She laughed. "I moved in about 2 weeks ago. What about you?"

"Of course, Caitlin. " Sally went off to the kitchen. She came back with Caitlin's lemonade and her own tea. She handed the glass over to the lady and sat down in the armchair. Sally nodded. "I married once, as well. But then divorced him, same as you. It just wasn't right. " Sally smiled. "Us girls stick together, eh?" sally paused and then said, "so, as Cody rides at Starry Skies I take it that you ride, too?"

"thanks," catlin said smiling when sally handed her the glass. "I've just given up on love, it never works," she sighed. She put the glass down on the table beside her. "Yep, I've been riding all my life, We have two horses at the moment, mine is kept at home but riley, codys horse, it kept at starry skys at the moment because we don't have the space."

"I see. I agree. " sally said quickly, trying to get rid of the subject. She nodded to Caitlin. "Welcome, " she said quietly. Sally listened as Caitlin explained. when she'd finished, Sally said, "At the moment, I have no horses. Cause I'm selling my only one. But a friend is giving me their horse when it has had it's foals."

"Really? I know. So, you had him around the age of 20?" Sally smiled. "I remember when Arianna and Ella were tiny babies. Ella is 17 too. " She grinned when the text came through. "You can go home if you want. Or, we can head over to Starry Skies and you can see what it's like!"
