Lucy and Rob

Meet Rob and faithful Lucy

Here’s the thing. Yes, he’s a farmer who works like a trojan when his condition allows. He’s a rescuer of dogs: which has ended up with him having a pack of eleven (who despite loving him are honestly making his life a misery), not including the two I’ve adopted. He passionately stewards bird nests in his combine harvester, tractors and barns, and rescues newts, fledglings, insects, worms, you name it. He’s the kindest person I’ve ever met.

How is he then, also the loneliest?

(I should say here that Rob is determined to share his truth for lots of good and hopeful reasons)

We won’t dwell, save to say that Rob will not contact anybody for fear of that action harming something or someone. Neither will he leave the farm for the same reasons among an endless list of fears and anxieties about harming animals and humans.

So we have a plan to get him here on Flickr, in this relatively safe place. He loves taking pics of the creatures he meets (we’ve spent hours this summer watching dragonflies around his pond) and loves hearing news about my friends here.

There’s a flavour of Rob’s OCD suffering in the group reply to my foggy two trees pic, and a little more generally and much more positively about his care for wildlife in my profile.

If anyone suffers anything like Rob’s severity of OCD, knows anyone who’s helped, or simply want’s to chat about it or anything else with Rob (who has a wicked sense of humour) please feel free, here.

Rob and I will respond to everyone, initially via my account, then if things go well, on his own dedicated stream.

~~~

Ta for reading. And heartfelt thanks to Victoria, Sara, Lacerta, Lisa and Ronnie for responding in the foggy pic comment.... Rob has seen every word… I wish you could have seen the smile of connection on his face.

Catch up soon :-)

Much love.
