Isn't facebook fab??

I never used to think so, I thought it was stupid, people posting tosh like what they had for tea that day of what grand thing they were up to. Now I have warmed to it...it's great for looking at peoples photos, people who's photos you would never normally see. Maye it's just because I am a nosey so and so. I have got in touch recently with some people I used to go to school with. I wouldn't call them school friends, more just casual acquaintances. One girl in particular has touched me, Annie Leighton. She was a beautiful mystery at school, wise and mature beyond her years. Anyway she is now living the life I dream of. 5 acres of nothing that they are slowly creating into their home. They are in northeast Scotland and have dubbed it Coldhome. Very apt. if we were every lucky enough to have such a project maybe we could call it hothouse, as that is surely what it would be. She is surrounded by an extended family of artists and musicians and they are in the midst of building a straw bale timber frame house. By the sounds of things she has had her fair share of heartache but I am looking forward to getting to know her better and learning more from her.
