With Cathy leading the way you will be just fine @keithboone And instead of driving past these quaint and colourful houses and glorious tree lined streets you will soon learn to appreciate the beauty of nature all around you in a new way. If you do have to inevbitably part with the last of your fleet of sleek mercedes, you can always pretend that you are veiwng Fernwood through their tinted windows instead of a pair of serviceable sunnies. At least the council are repairing the footpaths for you so you don' t have to worry about tripping over uneven surfaces and over grown tree roots etc.

And if walking is a little taxing to begin with, pehaps you may be able to afford one of those electric skate board thingys I see use as they speed along on the footpaths in our neighbourhood. Chin up Baron Boone, a man's home (whatever its size or colour) is his castle. Servants are not all they are cracked up to be either.......not that I speak from experience.

Thank you for sharing your Fun, Fictional, Fernwood, Fables with us my friend. That road trip has done wonders for you, creatively. (lol) (U & R)
