Speaker 1: the supercast link in the show notes. Anyway, here's a
00:00:25
Speaker 1: preview of this very special episode. Over Garage Village is
00:00:37
Speaker 1: the village that siblings Beth and Theo build. Its central
00:00:41
Speaker 1: feature is the bright blue train set with the silver
00:00:44
Speaker 1: stripe that rattles its way around and around the little
00:00:47
Speaker 1: town created from building blogs. And there's a stream of
00:00:52
Speaker 1: silver foil and a blue paper lake dotted with ducks.
00:00:57
Speaker 1: A badger drives the train, ringing the bell as he
00:01:00
Speaker 1: draws into and leaves stations, and for good measure, as
00:01:04
Speaker 1: he goes over the little humpback bridges and into the tunnel,
00:01:08
Speaker 1: just because it's such a cheerful sound to send out
00:01:11
Speaker 1: into the world. Over the passing weeks and months, Beth
00:01:17
Speaker 1: and Theo came to know more and more about the
00:01:19
Speaker 1: residents of over Garage Village, and based on the wishes
00:01:23
Speaker 1: and whims of all the otters and squirrels and lions
00:01:28
Speaker 1: and giraffes, and beavers and badgers who lived there. They
00:01:32
Speaker 1: added to the little line of shocks in the heart
00:01:35
Speaker 1: of town. The Roll Up, Roll Up Bakery now sold
00:01:40
Speaker 1: a popular line of cookies, with oatmeal and raisin and
00:01:44
Speaker 1: triple chocolate chip and raspberry and white chocolate flying off
00:01:48
Speaker 1: the shelves on a daily basis. In the Peeker Book Bookshop,
00:01:53
Speaker 1: they had moved some of the shelves back to create
00:01:56
Speaker 1: some space, and had installed a raised platform upon which
00:02:01
Speaker 1: stood the dinkiest, most perfect grand piano you'll ever see.
00:02:07
Speaker 1: The black, polished instruments shone, and when the little beaver
00:02:11
Speaker 1: took her place on the stool, the row of white
00:02:15
Speaker 1: and black keys pushed music out into the world. In
00:02:20
Speaker 1: the mornings, when the school children were brought to visit
00:02:23
Speaker 1: the shop, she played quick, scampering music that sent them
00:02:27
Speaker 1: racing around the shelves excitedly showing their fines to their friends.
00:02:33
Speaker 1: And in the afternoons, when the mothers and babies appeared,
00:02:37
Speaker 1: the beaver pushed out soft lullabies from the tiny grand piano,
00:02:43
Speaker 1: and if you knew to go and watch, you would
00:02:47
Speaker 1: see baby badges and rabbits and tortoises rocked to sleep
00:02:53
Speaker 1: in their mother's arms. The Copper Kettle Cafe was always
00:02:58
Speaker 1: busy with creatures meeting to gossip over coffee and cake.
00:03:04
Speaker 1: Beth and theo had added a haberdashery that's a sewing shop,
00:03:09
Speaker 1: lining the shelves of heavenly stitches with carefully rolled scraps
00:03:14
Speaker 1: their mother passed over from her sewing business. Needles made
00:03:19
Speaker 1: from the thorns of rose bushes and delicate threads that
00:03:23
Speaker 1: were once spiderwebs were piled onto the shelves and tables
00:03:28
Speaker 1: of the little shop. Along the street, there was now
00:03:32
Speaker 1: a garden center, the Green Dream, with plants grown from
00:03:37
Speaker 1: tiny cuttings the twins had taken from every garden and
00:03:41
Speaker 1: roadside they passed. Their mothers. Discarded thimbles made excellent plant
00:03:47
Speaker 1: pots and teaspoons and cake forks found in second hand
00:03:52
Speaker 1: shops and paid for with their few pennies of pocket money,
00:03:56
Speaker 1: served as garden spades and forks. The dinosaurs still lived
00:04:01
Speaker 1: peacefully together at the top of the road that wound
00:04:05
Speaker 1: around and around to the very peak of the hill.
00:04:09
Speaker 1: For a while, the twins had visited the village whenever
00:04:12
Speaker 1: they could, sneaking from their bedroom when their father's snores
00:04:16
Speaker 1: drifted out into the hallway. But one evening, they realized
00:04:21
Speaker 1: they hadn't been back for a whole month, since the
00:04:24
Speaker 1: day of their birthday party, which was held right next
00:04:28
Speaker 1: to over garage village, although the village at the time
00:04:32
Speaker 1: was sleeping. Listen to the full episode by joining the
