Dorothy Dodge, the cricket tea-lady has also commented that the paper-boy's Mother one Mrs O'Houlihan "an extremely handsome woman, with a formidable bosom", settled Irish traveler and Mum of seven strapping lads, also has a wicked grin and an arm like a Blacksmith. While the local trendy CofE vicar (who still likes to wear the beads he collected while trecking through India many years ago) has the most heathen, wild and wiry locks..

In other villages there would have been quite a scandal, but as this is the re-Imagined village the locals generally look indulgently upon the Vicar's liason.
