North easterly wind. Cold. Spook scratches. Pickle warms. Spyche sleepless. Gas fire burns. Memories of toasting forks and folks now gone. Tea and honey the thing.

Five years silent, but ‘there we are’. Now re-membered, revisited. YoYo Amore and Sweetbean suffer. Medecin, Rockit and Mixit have mates. Dougal and Zeb expand. Fineline and Homebase cook. Juggler and JoJo go to 2Js. Spyche and Settings double up and count the creaks. Mrs Maynot causes collective despair.
