Winter To Spring
Our stories today celebrate the coming end of winter and arrival of spring…almost. We’re right on the cusp of the seasons in the Village but there are a lot of things to enjoy in those weeks. We’ll start with Sugar Snow, a story about a brief cold snap and the fond memories it brings. Then we’ll head out of town in Getaway and let sunny walks by the water blow away the winter cobwebs. Finally we’ll spend a day inside as the cold rain falls, reminiscing and making a cosy space to relax in Pillow Forts and Treehouses.

A Little Romance
Our stories today all hold a seed of love and romance for the villagers of Nothing Much. We’ll start with our title story, on a walk downtown as the not-quite spring sunshine warms hearts and faces. We’ll find a photo hiding in the back of a wallet and initials carved into a bench that has a story to tell. Next, we’ll build up a bit of courage and travel to the flower shop downtown. We’ll pick our a bouquet and have it wrapped up with a satin ribbon in Hearts and Flowers. Last, we’ll reminisce about the potent message that can be sent by compiling the perfect musical message in Mix Tape.
