Thought you might be interested in subscribing to this e-newsletter, which is penned by a neighbor, the recently divorced and distressingly attractive brunette who lives in the Victorian mansion on the corner of Church and Park.
The house has at least 8 bedrooms, so not sure what she means by calling it a ‘cottage.’ Then again, I used to think a village needed a corner shop and a pub before it could truly be called that, so maybe it’s a cultural thing.

Just signed up, although I’m not sure I can ever be friends with someone who is both:
a) attractive
b) single and
c) claims to have all the answers, when half the time I can’t even remember my own cherubs’ names. Still, as someone who struggles on a daily basis with how to be content with less, it will be interesting to see how her little experiment in living the simple life works out.
