Vicar of Sniffwick

To Mrs Parry-Smith at Bailey House. She is most concerned by council plans to build several “affordable homes” on the land she sold for development. We have quite enough to contend with on the council estate as it is. Mr Parry-Smith joined us having put the condensed milk out for the gardener.

Later I was invited to Doctor Chaplin’s beautiful regency residence; there has been some little misunderstanding about his handling of Ms Robinson’s breasts. I’m sure a normal girl might be flattered to have them referred to as God’s own golden orbs. But Ms Robinson was not. I believe her close female companion who works in the Comprehensive School has mooted augmentation, or at least Mrs Whyte, she being a governor of the benighted school has told me.

I meet with a new and a very upset resident to our village, the distinguished StJohn Fowler, who bought Cleatherhope Cottage on the Playing Close for three quarters of a million. He complains that the youths are gathering at the pond and marring his view. I sympathise. He has rung the police, but to no avail, they do nothing, they could at least move the mob on,. Much the same has happened to the residents of the Old Primary School, who have to contend with the din from The Rose and Crown.
