Harville Mayor Resignation Announcement

It is with deep regret that I have had to tender my resignation as Mayor of Harville.

The Bramblebury Gazette has printed my resignation letter in full thusly:

To my dear fellow neighbours in the Southfarthing:

The majority of the dusting had been completed and already at least three families of mice had been removed from the Great Smials Library when Flory finally sat down for a cup of tea and slice of cake. All around her stacks of books lay in disorganized piles and orderly stacks. Flory was only now seeing the full extent of the job ahead of her. Even after the shelves had been cleaned she would then have to go through all the books and put them in some sort of order so that she knew precisely how many books there were.

Things had been very quiet of late for Gormbard, he had not found any real work as such but he got by. He had earned a little bit of money here and there for food and by selling any interesting items that he could find. He had managed to find an abandoned burrow in which to live, it was by no means a comfortable burrow but at least it kept out the wind and rain. He had found an old bench in the overgrown garden and dragged it in so at least he had somewhere to sit.
