This is exciting, I've met a gamekeeper

[Confortableorwhat]

I don't know why it that feels exciting, but the way it came about...

I'm doing a long distance trail on my own and having a marvellous time enjoying some solitude.

This evening I'd booked a table at the pub where I'm staying, but when I went down for dinner (not before!) was told the chef had a family emergency and they're not doing food. [Shock]

So I went to the only other restaurant in town to be told they didn't have a table, unless the man at the bar table didn't mind sharing....

He's lovely. About my age, an interesting history, good conversation and, I don't know why this tickles me, a gamekeeper.

He's gone to the loo, but conversation is easy and wine is flowing....

Enjoy yourself !

Is his name Mellors?

No, he's called Gary 🤣

Is he single?!

Yes, but a very complex story as to how that happened!

This feels like the start of a summer chick lit. Do keep posting.

They have a reputation for being womanising twats. Just don’t fall for him!

Is he fanciable!? 👂🏼👂🏼 waiting for updates!

Are you sure he’s not actually the owner of the Estate posing as a gamekeeper?

Are there any empty shops in the village for you to suddenly decide you are going to stay and open up a book shop / bakery / twee cafe?

Very!

That's all part of the fun. I'm only here one night!

💕

Do they?! I've known two and they were both unsociable confirmed bachelors who loved their dogs more than any person.

Enjoy your evening, op.

Not Seth Armstrong then?!

A gamekeeper? Is that someone that shoots and kills animals?

Shamelessly Placemarking for this real time Hallmark movie to unfold

The bloke down our lane is a gamekeeper. His house is a god awful tip, blankets for curtains and he always has dead animals hanging in his porch.

This is exciting! Shamelessly place marking too….

They maintain/look after the game for other people to shoot.

Have you read Lady Chatterly's Lover, OP?

But they also shoot/cull rabbits ect.

Believe so. Can’t think of anything worse personally!

Or they are like that! Grew up in The highlands and met both types.

Definitely hallmark movie material, are you an American in Ireland/Scotland/Wales? Are you a hard headed business woman who has come to aforementioned place to deal with a family death/rift/writers block?
Have you fell clumsily at least 5 times since meeting him?
Have you have a dance to trad music and met a fabulous group of women/gay men who have given you a local makeover?
Have you got stuck in the snow and the gamekeeper has rescued you?

I need to get out more 😂
