Strange things are happening in the area, and one of the strangest was the sight of an almost naked woman riding through our village. As it turned out it was young Belinda Zidler who tried to attract attention to herself and Circus Anno, which has settled in the outskirts of town. And she certainly accomplished that!
Shocking hair!
Dr Haydock has seen some shocking looks in his life, but was truly puzzled last night when seeing the new barman for the first time. “I wouldn’t be more surprised if I saw a green man”, Dr Haydock states.
The barman himself, Chris Little, is surprised of the stir his hair has made. “In London this is an everyday matter”, he claims, and he is supported in this by Mrs.Jamiesson. “I’m fully aware of the Teddyboy-style”, she says, “but new doesn’t necessarily mean elegant”.
Dr. Haydock, who has a quite distinctive haircut himself if we might say so, had to turn to hard liquor to get over the shock.
Romance is profitable
The last few weeks there has been a significant rise in the turnover at the flower shop. Mrs. Spenlow tells us that increase is 20 % compared with the same period last year. One of the reasons is said to be our own Colonel Protheroe, who is courting Miss Adams. Will there be a wedding in St. Mary Mead soon?
A winning team
The local team of domino players is in hard training for the Double Nine competition to take place in Market Basing next month. The team consist of Dr. Haydock, Mr Haymes, Mrs Lestrange, Miss Marple, Mrs. Price Ridley and Mr. Babcock. (Mrs. Price Ridley and Mr Babcock were not present on the occasion when the photo was taken.) We believe that several have good winning chances, and we encourage all villagers to meet up to support and cheer for them, but not so loud that it interferes with the game!
The characters and buildings from this story are from the AnnoSims Group project St. Mary Mead, loosly based on the novels of Agatha Christie. (
Anno Sims is now closed, but you can find my own creations for the project here at KSW.)
