Bit of a shock this morning.
Did anyone else know that St Bogwulf's Chapel was Grade 2* listed? Neither did I until the Man from the Council came round. And when I tried to explain that the chapel was sucked into a Black Hole after a radical service of alternative worship, he didn't believe me. He's threatened us with all sorts of fines.
He's quite young and attractive for a Man from the Counil - hasn't developed that twitch they get when they've been coming round here for a while. So Stacey Bushes has been only too happy to offer to keep him "occupied" for a while. But I reckon, even in a local council, it can only be a week or so before they notice he's missing. There will be some form he'll have had to fill in that won't be docketed properly, and then they'll send out the Deadwood Posse.
Anyone got any brainwaves let me know. Even Young Keith is a bit stumped at the logistical challenges involved in pulling a 13th Century Chapel from the wrong side of an Event Horizon.
If I didn't want the man from the council to come round, I wouldn't have knocked the feller out in the first place, yer dozy druid!

The lord of the manor sent his minions to knock down our esteemed woodshed, even though it be Grade 2 Listed, like the chapel.
ReplyDeleteTheir paltry excuse be that it be so dishevelled that it become deadly dangerous. What tosh, it never hurt no-one, never at all. And the breezes through the missing bricks dried the wood out loverly.
But it be a hard winter now and us Starkadders are finding it even harder storing our logs in a pile of bricks.
I'm sorry to hear that, Judith. But I thought the problem with your woodshed was that there was something nasty in it.
ReplyDeleteNasty! I never seen nothing nasty in the woodshed. Specially since we got the indoors bath.
ReplyDeleteThat old aunt was just having us on all those years. I reckoned she must have spied herself in a mirror...
The cow shed be another story though. Plenty of unsavoury stuff in there.
