The estate loomed large directly ahead of them – one rather long building, situated on a rise in the farmland. Yet another short rock wall separated it from what was a grazing area for the livestock. Ari noticed that there were sheep, but not much else in the fields.
The Discovery slowed to wend through the narrow gap between the wall, and the whole of the High Park estate came into view. The grass was a bit long in some spots, and it didn't appear that the trees in the front of the house had been pruned in some time.
"Dad's out in back," she explained with a wave as they passed the end of the main building. "The 130 should be back there with him."
The constable turned down an even lesser-marked set of ruts to run behind the house. Ahead of them stood the Defender 130, with the driver's side door open and the hood up.
A head peeked up as the Discovery pulled to a stop. Heather was quick to exit the vehicle, never bothering to buckle up as they drove up to the house.
"Dad, the buyer's here," she called out.
A dark haired older gentleman, in a wooly jumper and khaki pants, emerged from under the hood of the Defender. He waved at Heather, who walked up to him.
Ari just froze in the back seat.
"We're here, Wing," Whitemore nudged her back into reality as he disembarked. She shook her head for a moment, then stepped out of the Discovery.
Ari was a bit dazed as she walked up to the Defender with Whitmore and the constable. The gentleman hugged Heather, then waved politely at the constable.
"Allo, I'm Paul," he said, extending his hand to Ari.
