With the by-election timetable occurring over the hottest part of the year, it has been a rather tiring and dehydrating experience for the few of us trudging the streets and there are about 5,000 houses in the town.

It’s a process in which we get to see a full range of houses and a full range of mailboxes, which vary from elaborate to those in an advanced stage of neglect.  The cutest mailbox that we’ve come upon so far is the one above; clearly a house where the owners like us are fans of hedgehogs.
