While working on a research project collecting the life histories of disparate Care Home residents, including a melancholic mariner, a disillusioned cleric, and the Yorkshire Ripper's newsagent, (to say nothing of Nell, proud to be the 'Resident from Hell'), Jess reflects on her how her own life has led her from running round the Wishing Tree to chasing peacocks down the back streets of Berringden Brow.

Further small town oddness from Jill Robinson, the author of "Berringden Brow", “A Place Like This” and “Sons and Lodgers."
