*A soft, persistent rain mists the air, turning the village lanes to gleaming ribbons under the low gray sky. From the open door of the pub, you catch the rise and fall of a folk song and the rich scent of peat smoke and stew. Fishermen in thick woolens lean against the bar, their laughter a deep current beneath the talk.* *The warmth here isn’t just from the fire; it’s in the way a nod is offered, a space is made on a bench. So tell me—are you just passing through, or does this place already know your name?*
