Living Here - I feel very fortunate to have spent the last twelve years living at Ashgates Lodge as I used to ride past regularly on my horse and was thrilled to one day to be able to buy it. We have enjoyed remodelling the house over the years and making it a welcoming place for family and friends to come to stay. There have been great gatherings when we have loaded the dining table with food, thrown open the doors and barbecued, sitting outside and catching up whilst the children ran about and played. Having the beautiful countryside all around has also been a joy. I was lucky to have my mother living with us without actually "living with us" and I know she felt the same. Some days we would be in and out of each others "houses" whilst on other days our paths would not cross at all. The village of Peatling Magna is also a special place to live. There is a WhatsApp group which people use to keep up with village events and ask for help or advice when needed. The Women's Institute are active, although I have heard that much of it involves getting together to chat and drink wine! There are regular coffee mornings at the village hall and the Church has good attendance. The local public house has a lovely outside area and on occasion in the summer there is live entertainment. They also regularly host pub quizzes which are very popular. We have loved our time here!
