Thank you, Ben! I appreciate that. I was hoping that the detail might make it easier for people to return the journal to me so let’s see what happens. I’ve got my fingers crossed. I did check the lost and found of the Crownbucks I was in, but that does make me think I should’ve checked the trash bins too so maybe I’ll go back and ask about that. Nothing else was taken from the table but that’s also because there was nothing else on the table. I took my phone and my bag with me to the restroom and left the journal both because it’s so large and also to hold my spot but unfortunately it didn’t quite work out that way. I loathe to think we have a thief in our midst either and I’m praying that that’s not the case.
A good walk through the castle gardens sounds very fun to me! I like to go for walks to clear my mind too and the more distracting the view, the better. And I’ve heard famously good things about the roses in your family’s castle, so I’ll have to give that a go this summer. Have you thought about finding a new surrounding to walk amongst, if just for a day? How do you feel about walks on the beach, my King?
Please let me know if anyone does find and return it! I’d very much like to know how it all turns out. Trash bins have a funny way of pulling important items towards them when they shouldn’t be thrown away. Before I graduated, I had been studying for an exam and accidentally threw my notes away with my napkins -- it couldn’t hurt to ask if anyone saw a notebook in a bin when they were taking the trash out at the end of the night or something. Of course, that makes sense, and I’m really glad that you didn’t leave your bag with you. Could you imagine if you had left that to save your spot and that went missing? It’s a good thing it was just the notebook, not that your things missing at all is anything to celebrate. But it’s good that it wasn’t worse than it is.
The gardens are probably my favorite part of the castle grounds, they’re usually much quieter than the rest of the grounds so it’s perfect when you’re looking for something a little more secluded. You know, a change in scenery sounds perfect actually. I might have to take your advice and do just that, thank you. And I can’t recall the last time I went for a walk on the beach? Do you go to the beach often?
