Witty vignettes and wartime mischief across a lively town
Read about children trading notes at the Rake and Raspberry and a golfer Mashie Munro’s comic portrait of his mother in law. The piece also recalls amateur concert folly for wounded heroes, Lille Minchington’s yearly circus visit, and local banter among townsfolk as life moves slowly between small laughs and social scenes.
