This is such a joy, Cherry. Made me laugh. Wonderful incidental portrait of your carefully-tailored mum, too: "She wouldn't have been found dead fawning over rhubarb on the first decent Saturday of the season." (Mine would have happily bagged up all the rhubarb and been totally oblivious to the village gossip!)

But local life is a rich seam and you write so well!

I understand the dilemma. I get people at Pilates AND at choir, greeting me with, “Loved the bit about…” Which is fantastic. But also narrows down my potential topics :D
