It's not a huge plot - just one quarter of a sim. But it's surprising what such a small plot can hold.

 

Here's a short walking guide for you.............

 

                                        From the Lodge take the path through the gate and around to the left.

                                                                                              This will take you to the woods.

                                           Follow the banks of the stream, and look up to find a little clearing. 

                                         Listen for the chirruping of the birds and the whirrr of the dragonflies.

                                       Sit for a while and watch as the creatures there play around your feet. 

 

              A short wade through the stream and if you look about you you can find another path.

              This one leads to the cove.

 

 

 

                                                                                         

                                                                                                       It's quiet and tranquil here ........quiet,   that is apart from it's two residents.

                                                                                                       One is very easy to spot, the other a little more hidden. 

                                                                                                       But when you do find her - she's very........................... informative.

                                                                                                       Linger in the woodcutter's shelter.

                                                                                                       Just the place for seeing pictures in the flames as you warm yourself by the fire. 

 

 

 

                                                                                                       Back through to the woods again and you can take a short-cut back to the Lodge if you turn                                                                                                          right as you get to the trees - ford the stream and you're back where you started.

 

                                                                                   

 

                                 Time now for a rest and maybe some refreshments.

                                 And no need to  worry about your muddy boots either.

Maybe sit and enjoy a cup of tea as you nibble on a pastry. . . . . or three. 

           Listen to the slow tick-tock of the clock and the crackle of the fire,  

                                                           and the cats purring contentedly.

                                                                                                           

 

      But things will change.

                        Nothing in either world, virtual or real, can ever stand still. 

                                        So come back to visit Hearth again and again

 

                        ...........there will always be something new to see or find.
