Barney and Imogen are at Warren Hills near the hamlet of Oaks in Charnwood to visit some ancient oak trees and hopefully, if there is time, visit Mount Saint Bernard Abbey. An active Cistercian monastery near East Leake



Imogen: This is lovely out here…..I am so glad we came
Barney: Yeah…I have always wanted to come here.



Imogen: I can’t believe that James just let us go, no questions, no restrictions.
Barney: Well its not surprising is it? He does have other things on his mind now!



Imogen: Other things……what do you mean?
Barney: Oh yeah! Like you haven’t noticed!



Imogen: *sits up abruptly* No I haven’t Barney. Apart from growing his hair nothing has changed. What do you mean?
Barney: Imm….?!!!



Imogen: I don’t know what you mean Barney. What has James got to worry about?
Barney: Oh come on! You can’t be that blind-can you?!



Imogen: *hits him* Don’t call me blind!
Barney: Give over Imm…..



Imogen: What are you talking about?
Barney: *grabs her hands* Imm…stop and think-just for a while. THINK! How long has James known Mai?



Imogen: It is ages. I have known Mai forever.
Barney: It’s three years actually.



Imogen: Gosh! That long? But what has that got to do with it?
Barney: Imm…..three years dating….I think he might just be wanting something a little bit more permanent for both of them…….don’t you think?



Barney *whispers* Something like marriage?


Continued in the reply.......

Imogen: *realisation* Oh!!!!
Barney: Bingo! The penny drops!



Imogen: *taps Barney* So is that why he …….
Barney: *interrupts abruptly* Whoa! Did you see that sparrowhawk?



Imogen: So is he……….



Barney: Well come on Tinker….lets get moving we’ve still got the Abbey to see.
Imogen: James going to….*shakes her head*
Barney And that is what is on his mind now my little one! Important business!

Ten minutes later



Barney: What a view!


P.S. Imogen still can’t quite believe it!








(As you can see-I shot this story last summer!)

Beautiful pics and your dolls as always wonderful to look at. I am surprised a woman didn't pick up on the romance between the other two yet a guy did! Very sensitive young man.

Thank you

Imogen is James’s younger cousin, she wouldn’t pick up on anything that James did…..he is just James to her!!! LOL!

And Barney is an astute young man.

Wow amazing pic's Jane, what a view Imogen and Barney had.
Great story and it was nice of Barney to clue her in on what James is planning

Hugs,
Keirra

Ooo what beautiful surroundings I would love to live near something like that, alas I'm in the middle of a town.
Barney and Immogen are so cute together and it's great to hear what James is planning I am definatly rooting for him XD Poor Immogen though being a little space case bless lol ^^

Thank you again

Well, Barney and James both frequent the same local as well as meeting daily at the Hall, so they do chat quite a bit!!!

And Warren Hills is a beautiful place, and it is so near. And the Abbey is a such a peaceful place, as befits a monastery.
(I really don’t know how many working monastery’s there are in the UK now?)

I am so lucky to live in a village, and only less than half an hour away from such beautiful countryside.

Oh! Your pictures make me LONG for spring! Officially, it's here, but someone forgot to tell the weather...It's been quite a winter here. Everyone you talk to is yearning for a change!

I LOVE the lighting, too. So fresh and warm...ahhhhhhh...(Can you tell I have spring fever??? LOL!)

Thanks for sharing your sweet story with us. They are such a cute couple!




Mary

Thank you Mary-I hear your longing for Spring, it matches mine!!!

What beautiful countryside! and a beautiful story to match!

Now I must go find your other stories so I "get" what is going on!

Thank you Sheri

It is a beautiful place to visit and it was worth the embarassment of photographing the dolls in public.

And thank you for reading so many of my stories

Spring and romance is in the air!! I think in the future there could be something happening with these two as well!!

Looks like they had a great time in beautiful surroundings. Glad the penny dropped for Immogen.

Thank you Redvelvet and Sylvie


Sylvie...........................Imogen is still far too young to be involved in any really serious relationship yet.
