Although the rundown terraced house next door was empty Laura thought she heard a baby crying but Percy said it was the wind whistling through the passage.

Laura was still feeling uneasy when she heard a knock at the door.

“Hi,” said the young lady. “We’ve bought the house next door at a bargain price. We are going to make it smart and homely for our little family to enjoy. We like this street.”

Laura put the kettle on. She wondered what they would do with the pig sty at the bottom of the garden. Percy kept chickens in theirs.

    Sounds like it would be a good place for the little one’s bedroom to ensure a good night’s sleep... and provide early morning competition for next door’s cockerel.

    You’re very welcome Brian. (Was it perhaps 2019 though?)
