Village Gossip

Being in a small village where almost everyone knows everyone, has its interesting moments.  

A couple of days before my arrival in Sippenaeken, a big fire had engulfed the house of a farmer, with only some parts of the outer structure surviving the effects of the fire.

Burnt Farmer's House

It was big news and the talk of the town for days, particularly when there was a twist to the story of what had caused the fire.  

Rumour had it that the farmer was secretly growing cannabis in the attic of the house and the fire had originated from there.

I suppose I will get updates to the story as it develops! ;)
