NanoSteps -- the brainstorming thread

[Dartz]

Because the animated version was on television recently and, for reasons I can't possibly fathom, noticed the name of the pub and realised it shared it's name with the one mentioned in DW2....

It was England.

1950's or thereabouts at a guess, the sense of optimism following World War 2 being tempered by the continuing austerity. The roads were worn and empty, while the hedgerows were in a full summer bloom. It wasn't easy finding somewhere inconspicuous to hide the motorcycle in the village, but my curiosity had been piqued.

I went inside the pub, not expecting it to be much if anything like what I remembered. Three locals were having a conversation in a dark corner beside an unlit fire.

"That's a fairy story, Jones. I don't believe it for a moment. Pigs? Taking over a farm? I've never heard the like of it,"

"You've had too much of that stuff, mate, I think,"

"I swear on my Mother's grave it's true! The animals have taken over Manor Farm,"

Less than ten seconds after stepping inside, and I was certain I wouldn't be dissapointed.
