Hello I’m Ashlea <strong>and</strong> I’m very<br />
pleased to meet you.<br />
My family have lived in Dunochart since I was 9,<br />
before that we lived in Spain <strong>and</strong> America! My dad runs<br />
a Continental restaurant in the town.<br />
I’m training to be a teacher so I spend some time away<br />
at Uni in Aberdeen - lots of reasons to come back<br />
though, especially now that I’ve met Connor - what a<br />
truly lovely man!<br />

I was meeting my friend<br />
on a summer’s day wearing<br />
this dress when I first saw Connor! He<br />
was walking up the other side of the<br />
street <strong>and</strong> we had one of those eyes<br />
meeting moments! Neither of us<br />
knew who the other one was at<br />
that time!<br />

I met Connor again not<br />
long after that. My uncle was<br />
visiting <strong>and</strong> I had gone for a drink<br />
with him, Connor came into the bar with<br />
Isla - I know her as her best friend is my<br />
best friend’s sister. She made a beeline<br />
for us because my uncle is very<br />
h<strong>and</strong>some! She was so interested in<br />
talking to him that Connor <strong>and</strong><br />
I got talking ourselves....I asked<br />
him to come to the tennis<br />
with me.....<br />
Connor never came to the<br />
tennis that week <strong>and</strong> I felt really<br />
stupid <strong>and</strong> low.....<br />
But all was not lost, you can imagine my<br />
shock when he appeared a<br />
week later. I started to realise it was<br />
difficult for him to sneak out the<br />
flat without Isla subjecting<br />
him to the Spanish inquisition!<br />

My best friend’s sister is getting<br />
married, I am invited to the wedding....I<br />
knew Isla would be there as Bridesmaid but<br />
little did I expect Connor to be there! What<br />
a surprise I got when I saw him, apparently<br />
he’s friend's with the groom from work <strong>and</strong><br />
Isla insisted on his going!!<br />
But he was glad he came after all<br />
<strong>and</strong> so was I.....<br />

Life is never simple - I had to go back to<br />
uni after the Summer, I miss Connor like<br />
mad. I know he’s really worried about<br />
going out with me because Isla keeps<br />
telling him he’s too old for me!<br />

I feel things are a bit<br />
more settled now I got my school<br />
placement in a school near Dunochart. Isla<br />
is still getting on Connor’s case....I suspect<br />
her feelings are more than she’s letting on<br />
but don’t know what I can do about it.<br />

Connor is taking me camping - I think its<br />
a hilarious idea, we’re going to Calgary<br />
Bay on Mull - how romantic in an<br />
outdoorsy sort of way!!!<br />

Now I didn’t wear this on Mull - you must<br />
be joking! Saving these for my visit to<br />
Spain to see my cousins <strong>and</strong> gr<strong>and</strong>parents.<br />

I’m going to the Golf Club<br />
Dance with Connor.... we had a real<br />
horrible moment when we met Isla’s<br />
parents there, I guess Isla’s been telling<br />
them all sorts of stuff about me (none true<br />
I may add). Poor Connor he didn’t<br />
know what to say.<br />
