When i arrived by hrse and cart as motor vehicles were banned. The sky was overshadowed by a storm coming in.

She said there is a storm on its way. Ill have to gather wood for the fire.
She said she would have to charge us £10 for the wood.
I said do you take plastic. She replied Nooo it wont burn to good.
As the nite wore On . The fire began to start to go out
The little old wman said that it.ll cost another £10 for more wood

She said with a Grin. tha.ll be £5 . this was impossible. id only been there one nite. I explained that i would have to go to the bank
