Katie Sugden carefully guided her bay gelding down the narrow path deep in thick woods on a remote part of Home Far. Not far behind Masie Wylde followed on her grey mare.
Emerging into the open, they found themselves in a very secluded meadow, with a sparkling clear stream leading to a small lake, the whole area was so tranquil and on a hot summer day like this, perfect.
"Wow, Katie this is so beautiful, "said Masie dismounting from her horse.
"Yes, not many folk know about it, but I have been coming here since I was a kid, I love it here."
The two girls let their horses roam off, and settled onto the lush grass at the side of the lake.
"We used to skinny dip in the lake, when we were kids" laughed Katie, "happy days."
Katie lay back and let the suns rays fall on her pretty face. Masie lay beside her, but on her side, her head propped up by her elbow."
"Tell me about Katie" she said.
"Not a lot to tell really, I grew up around here, married my first love at 18, we were to young, had an affair with his brother." said Katie
"No, you slept with his brother?" said an astonished Masie.
"Yes, and on my wedding day, how weird can you get?"
Masie was intrigued, "How long did it last?"
"Not long, we divorced, I went to Greece, came back, got smashed up in a car crash, Andy nursed me back to health, fell in love again. Re-married, then along came Jo, with her sultry looks and breasts to die for, Andy fell for it and we divorced again."
"Well you have had an eventful life" said Masie.
"Well there was my surrogate baby, and oh I was engaged to a gay guy. Now I am with Ryan and I could not be happier.
