Stories From Beneath A Tupperware Sky
In the rain swept reaches of the north-westerly corner of an island you'll find a quaint village that thinks of itself as a city.
The charming little village known as, The Grey.
In real cities there's normally big crowds, vast distances between places and the certain degree of anonymity one feels when you're in amongst a large throng of others.
In The Grey however, everyone knows everyone, all the locations are just a few minutes walk away from everywhere else, and the local press occasionally covers such unique news stories as:
"Pedestrian points out perpendicular peculiarities of lamp post!"
and the Pulitzer prize contender:
"Is the centre of town sticky... or is it not?"
Welcome to The Grey, it looks like it's going to rain.
That's all right. Into every life a little rain must fall,
or a lot, sometimes.
It always goes away again, and it comes back,
and it will go away again...
So you see, there's no use in being anxious.
You can get cosy and watch it hit the windows.
You might like to go out skyclad and dance in it.
You could get an umbrella and walk in it.
But whatever you do,
don't worry about whether
it's coming or how long it will stay.
Rejoice in the glittering cascade of beauty that is
