Phew! Just in time for Christmas!
“The Garage”
It was no man’s land. A place where rural England dripped quietly into the welcoming soft green folds of Wales. A place where community and authority were symbiotic in achieving the tranquil times of life. Births, deaths, marriages, love affairs, defeats and victories came and went with the reliable seasons. Peace was only shattered by intruders, outsiders who didn’t understand how things worked and Irish Travellers who fully understood how things worked. Boring into society like a maggot, sucking out nutrition before moving on, giving nothing back. The Doyle family were regular maggots, knocking for Antiques, selling dodgy three piece suites, resurfacing drives that didn’t need it and repairing roofs that weren’t broken, leaving bewildered old people, old furniture and the smell of toilets behind them wherever they went. Their culture was closed, no one moved outside it.
Prendergast Price ran the old garage in the centre of the village. He fixed everything for everyone, for a bit of cash of course. His nephew Jerome was the local Bobby, between them they oiled the wheels of Evenchurch and it’s surrounds. Jerome wasn’t married but he might as well have been, Damsel was the only woman he would ever love and she existed in another world. They tried to pair him up, marry him off all the time but he was a lost cause. Uncle Pren became a Magistrate, a Justice of the Peace, a pillar of Society but they killed his dogs Andy and Flo. He didn’t like that.
