Digging for Gold

Yesterday my love and I went to the reclamation yard,

these places are big business over here in England.

We were looking for some paving stones, 

old ones in keeping with our old

cottage.

We have a huge driveway that is full of weeds.

When our property was flooded in 2007

the beautiful gravel drive that my love

had spent many hours constructing

ended up in the brook, 

the flood just swept it all away.

We have not been able to afford

for a company to restore a 

more permanent drive, 

one which would not be swept away 

should we have another flood.

We searched  the yard for old concrete slabs for the drive,

which our budget might run to, old stone pavers being very expensive,

but the yard didn't have any, on our search I noticed 

some reclaimed building stones which are very 

valuable too, at this point

in my mind I was feeling very 

sorry for my love, knowing he must have seen them too,

for I know he would dearly love to build a stone wall to help keep the floods out!

(The bridge at the far end of this photo shows the stream had risen about 8 feet!)

At this point my mantra flashed before me ~

'what I need will be there in the moment'

Not exactly in 'that moment' but the day after,

Lo & behold ~

for some reason  my love started 

to examine an area of ground that he

thought was unusually raised, this is what he found ~

PURE GOLD, not exactly, but as good as!

These stones are worth a small FORTUNE,

now we may be able to build the wall!

I'm a strong believer in intuition!
