June explained the way to the village hall using landmarks the new neighbour hadn’t seen.
She mentioned the old post office, the former bakery and a shop that had closed years ago.
The neighbour asked whether there was a simpler route.
June thought for a moment….
The new neighbour wanted to find the village hall.
June said to turn left at the old post office.
The neighbour asked where that was.
Opposite the bakery. Well, it used to be a bakery.
What is it now?
A house. You go past the place where the butcher was, then right before the old garage.
The neighbour put away his phone.
Is there a route using things that still exist?
June thought carefully.
Yes. Follow my husband on Tuesday evening.
Does he go to the hall?
June smiled.
He says he does. If you get there, give him this empty bottle and ask whether the history society sells lemonade now.
