Although I love my little Edwardian house and its magical
garden, what draws me most to where I live is the locality. It’s the lanes and fields
and hedgerows, the tree-topped ridge behind the house, the rising land beyond
the river, the church in the vale etc, etc.
My neighbour, on the other hand, is very home-focused, and particularly on the inside of the house. She’s also a very good baker – I get home
made cake now and then in recompense for keeping her shrubs trimmed, and I’m a
bit of a connoisseur of good baking.
I’ve noticed before that women who are home-centred are
often also good at baking, so I wonder whether it’s part of some biological
imperative. Maybe the baking skill is an inherent part of the nest-building
instinct. Or maybe I’m talking a load of dingoes’ doings as usual.

Has she had or is she having a birthday soon? Maybe she's a Cancer. They are homebodies and very domestic. My ex mother in law was a Cancer and it fit. Excellent cook. Only good thing i can say about the woman,really.
Liam is a Cancer. Maybe he'll be a good baker, haha.
'Fraid not. She's an Aries. I knew a male Cancerian once who was very home-centred and a good cook. He liked cats, too!
