As I've written out Vernon Brill's tale up to and after Bismark, I've realised - this works for me. I normally write out a general story line, flesh it out, fessh that out several times before doing a detail scene by scene summary and then adding sights, sounds, smells and atmosphere but I enjoyed doing Brilley's experience and I want to try it on the sequel to Best in Show.
Broon, not having won Best in Show had behaved himself and was fairly fresh on Sunday morning. At breakfast, he was thinking about clearing and tidying the garden when Maisie offered him another cup and he could tell by the way she poured that she had something on her mind.
'Maybe we should go and look at that bramble patch, John,' she suggested.
'I was thinking of clearing the garden,' Broon mentioned.
'Let Andrew and Ger do it,' Maisie suggested. 'I'd like to see that site again. Maybe the brambles will be ready and we could make some jam.'
Broon agreed and they went off up the hill.
The brambles weren't ready, almost but not yet juicy and sweet but Maisie turned to look across the Cairndhu valley, then back at the brambles, then back across the valley. 'I think I'd like to see this view, John,' Maisie said.
Dalmighty! She's planning the house and the garden no' even started, Broon thought, looking back to the clumps of grass that covered the field where he had to start making a market garden.
