Grapevine

If only ...This is the bane of life. If only we had been prepared ...If only we could be bothered ...If only we cared ...enough ...If only we had been organised ...What if, somewhere, someone was?

How would you know? At the start of the summer of 2000, Danny Wetherby set out to find ...something.

What she achieved, she was not attempting; what she found, she was not seeking; for what found her, she was not prepared.

All in all, by Autumn, her world was full of chaos. But then ...it often is, for a mathematician. With a cast of ABC people (that's Argumentative, Bloodyminded and Cantankerous) ...plus betting, bureaucrats, chaos, computers, fireworks, geeks, maths, motorbikes, music, politicians, trains, walnuts, the Internet, the Taj Mahal and a four-poster bed. And the Grapevine. But not necessarily in that order. What goes on in your town?
