Some years ago I decided to leave the real world and move permanently to Grimwood. I’m much happier here. We are currently voting for a new mayor.

I told myself I couldn't stop for lunch until I'd reached 20k words. Nearly there! What shall I make those last two words? I'm thinking "wibble woop" or "shlurpy shloop". Anything will do. Mmm, lunch. 😋😜
