Lorna, looking to rent in North Devon

I wish to find a calm home to share with my assistance dog and emotional support cat. I love quirky and quaint and all that is different, fun and free. A bath would be delightful as I do love to have some downtime with a book in there.

*I am a creative and quirky 43 year old. I’ve lived in my own home until now, this will be my first rental. I am a researcher so I love books, online studying and surrounding myself with historic photos, maps and antique or unusual items. I love crystal ornaments and loud colours and I enjoy Celtic or folk law style music as well as other genres that offer something a little different. I study local areas for culture and history purposes and have a deep love for hunting family history. I paint, sketch, draw and make various plaques for individuals or the home. I am used to keeping a clean and fresh home for my animals and I love to make my home and extension of my personality and bring some life and happiness within the walls that surround me. I enjoy linking into community events and social organisations to connect with people.

*Perfect Saturday morning: A slow start with the animals followed by some breakfast with the door or window open so I can hear nature. A warm cup of tea in hand and a pen and paper ready to make a list of things to do that day. A gentle walk with woman’s best friend and assistance hero Roxy dog and maybe accompanied by one of our favourite human friends.

*Passions and interests: Family history, genealogy (yes they’re different 😊), local history, building research, archaeology books and programs educating me about the history of the land I live from and on. Painting, drawing, making trinkets with air drying clay, jewellery making, canvas painting, board games and walks in nature.

*Profession: Genealogical researcher and heritage curator.

*Heart warming story: I went on a once in a lifetime trip to India to explore Rajasth with a friend. Our driver was late so I went to locate some shade across the street whilst my friend liaised with her contacts to ensure we were still being collected. I was sat minding my own business when I saw one of India’s sacred cows sauntering across the road….(I thought nothing of it as it is a regular sight in India, cows are worshiped. The cow seemed to pick up speed as it was nearing so I stood up from my perch on the wall. This was when I saw the cows head dip down suddenly and she began to charge towards me for the last few paces with her curly horns heading right for my abdomen. I closed my eyes and hoped for some miracle to save me!!
Thud!!! The cows horns scraped against the wall behind me. I opened my eyes to see it ha d backed away only to come back for a second attempt!
Thud!!!!
Omg this cow was not giving up she was reversing for a third attempt!!! Luckily a local came running towards me with a small broom to shoo her off (as cows cannot be hit or hurt due to society seeing them abs worshipping them as a sacred visitor). The cow chased me in between two TukTuk’s and around a moped while the lovely local went off to get some food to distract it. Thankfully the local managed to grab it’s attention long enough for me to scraper and make it back in time for our driver to Hurd me onboard ready for the next adventure which I’m glad to say was far less threatening and much less pointy!!
