Completion: Incomplete
Greg closed his front door and took a deep breath. He’d finished up work early today and gone home to shower and get changed. He planned on going for a wander around town this evening to have a good look at what was there. He hadn’t often ventured over the river and when he had it had been mostly to go to the pub. Today he planned on going further and seeing what shops were there and when they were open. And if he managed to meet some people along the way... well, that was all well and good.
As he walked along Lovegood Lane and turned into Epsilon Street to cross the river he was forced to chuckle ruefully. Here he was - man-mountain, built like a brick outhouse, qualified medivet and he was as nervy as a cat on a hot tin roof. He’d been tempted to talk to Mandy or even owl Ginny and ask if they wanted to come with him but had eventually decided that he really needed to do this for himself. Shadow was curled up asleep in his pocket but he was sure that she would eventually wake up and enjoy the trip.
He turned left onto River Road and kept wandering, looking around with interest until finally he caught a familiar and well-loved smell in the air. Somewhere around here was a bakery, had to be for the smell to be so strong this late in the day. Greg sniffed the air again and smiled. Well, that answered one question and in a good way.
He took a deep breath of the wonderful smell and continued walking. He’d find the bakery and then see what else there was around.
