Puppy love

Mrs. Lestrange was literally shocked when she found a helpless puppy left in her garbage can a few days ago. "I fear that this was no mistake, but that it was left there to die a slow and painful death. It is so unbelievably cruel!"

Cruelty against animals are never taken lightly in St. Mary Mead, and the Police have sought help from Miss Marple to solve the case, and ask possible witnesses to come forward.

Nevertheless, this time it ended well, as Mrs. Lestrange decided to adopt the little puppy, and gave it the name Destiny, a very appropriate name.

No pain, no gain

In last weeks edition we reported on Miss Weatherby's amazing weight loss, and one of the notorious paparazzies have shared with us a photo from the work out. When asked why he didn't publish the photo earlier, the paparazzi says that "I felt bad revealing Miss Weatherby in such a vulnerable position". The most surprising thing in this story, if we might add, is not the weight loss of Miss Weatherby, but that there is such a thing as a decent paparazzi.

Major art

Mr. Redding's series of small watercolors are increasingly popular, but the artist haven't been able to work on large canvas, due to storage problems at his home.

Mr. Redding is confident that he will be able to make even better paintings, now that he has an agreement with the vicar of using his tool shed as an art studio. We can look forward to great art! And if not great, at least it will be larger.

Double vision

The vicar was sure something was wrong with his eyes the other day, when he Miss Hartnell introduced him to ... Miss Hartnell! "Everybody thinks we are twin sisters, but in fact she is my cousin, Miss Amanda Hartnell explains. Miss Margareth Hartnell is to the left. (Or right)

"It stinks!"

"It is basically a scandal", an outraged Mr Giles argues, "and nobody takes responsibility!" Dog owners in St. Mary Mead filed a complaint to the Mayor yesterday, for the lack of parks in the center of the village. After the latest building boom asphalt has taken over the village completely, leaving the dog owners in a desperate situation. Not to mention the dogs!

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.)
