A Street Somewhere Different

The old fairy tales were full of warnings about leaving the familiar, well-trodden path. If you did stray, wolves with transvestite tendencies and witches with edible houses might find you. But just as those things actually sound rather fun, so taking a different route can be a rewarding experience. It’s a chance to find something new in familiar territory. Maybe it’ll lead to an undiscovered shop or pub or maybe it’ll be the start of a whole other story. And of course it’s an opportunity to feel the excitement and fear that comes with the possibility of getting hopelessly lost.
