Horrid Airbnb experience - Part 1

We had been renting a room in our house for about 6 months.
We enjoyed the stream of visitors, yet we were looking for someone who could live with us on a more long-term basis.
B. entered our life and we were pleased.
He booked a room through Airbnb one week in, one week out.
We fell in love with the guy. He was a gentle soul, funny and a bit shy.
We had many things in common including our vision for the future.
We liked to have him around.
M. had started to introduce him to friends.
People appeared to appreciate him.
We had a trip planned. We were travelling for two weeks and a half or so. B. had lived with us for two months or so, we trusted him and so we agreed through the Airbnb scheme to leave him our home with confidence that all would be well.

Off we went.

With the full support of Transition Leicester and Positive Money, 5 knowledgeable key speakers were invited. 40 people managed to attend the event. Food, hot and cold drinks were available for everyone to share. The evening turned out not only to be fun and interesting but also educating. This was a moment we travelled in a l...

She had tried for a year or two to make the hedging bush to recover and live again. She had worked so hard for it to get better. Before she knew it, a man fell onto it and broke all the branches. She stomped, she roared, she got very upset. What is the message she received? She will probably never know until she let it finally all go. Her attachment to the bush is to made her perished. Until, she wakes up and breathe in the storm of opportunities...
