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 />
