Dear Willow,

A witch who predicts the time in a country where it rains 90% of the time ... I think I can understand why the others witches find it laughable ...

I doubt it is necessary to be a witch to predict changes in the weather. Any person born and raised in Scotland should be able to it, just like in Sunnydale where anyone born and raised here know which days it will rain without needing to check the weather forecast on the TV !
However, if she believes that she is a great "weather witch", who are we to contradict her ? It is better for you to pretend that you take her seriously on this matter, as the others members of her Coven do that.

You see, I told you it was a good idea to ask your hostess to make you visit the surrounding area. At least, you know what you can buy next of the place where you live nowadays, and what you will absolutely need to buy the next time you're in a big city ... well tomorrow when you go to Glasgow.

It is good that your days are a little more organized, it will prevent you from becoming too much bored.
Do not worry about the gossips woman, you have already seen how it was in Highschool ... people who get bored and have nothing else to do than trying to spy on their neighbors. All it shows is that they have no life and they try to give meaning to their lives and occupy their days by worming in the lives of others people around them.

If this is the same kind of people that Harmony and his group during the Highschool, only one solution, you must behave as if they were not here... not to mention that since you are the "last" person who arrived in the village, you can be sure that almost all these gossips speak what they know about you, why you came here ... oops sorry, I did not want to make you afraid ! But you already know how it works, not one who is interested in the truth. What they want, it is the scandal ... I am almost sure there is at least one of them who initiated the idea that you're pregnant and your boyfriend left you because of this situation ... well, do not pay attention to them, they will stop talking about you as soon as the next minor scandal will appear.

Enjoy your day in Glasgow tomorrow, something tells me that you may not return in this town for some time, so I advise you, in addition to your garden tools and what you want to buy for your greenhouse, to fill up on necessary things. One k-way, or two, it would be more intelligent, a good pair of boots for walking in the countryside and on the muddy ground, a pair of binoculars, a waterproof backpack, a metal gourd and lunch box with a stove and a survival blanket in case you must stay outside during the night, a good map of the region with a solid compass and several pairs of comfortable and solid clothes which does not get easily dirty. I doubt that what you've brought to Sunnydale as clothing is wearable, apart in a house ... and even there, I doubt that it is enough warm to do that.    Perhaps, you should take the opportunity to make you a new wardrobe which is  more adapted to the climate of the region. Go to a camping store and / or a sport store, they should have everything you need. At worst, you must demand addresses at your hostess in view of the fact she go with you in Glasgow.
And do not forget to buy snacks.

Finally, I checked, Giles has increased his prices in a astounding manner ... I find his attitude is very strange. He tried to explain that it was because the production of his supplier was low at the moment and that he has also increased his prices, but I find it hard to believe. Now, the question is, is it because he wants to ensure that aspiring wizards do not begin magic ? ... or just because he needed money because of the whims of Buffy, and what hte Watcher Council gives to him is no longer enough ? If I remember correctly, it was also his "hidden" reason to open the shop ... well, this is not very important, even if it is the second reason, I doubt that Buffy changes her way of behave... which is quite depressing when you think of that... so I'll stop to think immediately !

Have fun in Glasgow tomorrow and buy you nice stuff!
I love you,
Xander.
