Day 1474
Day 1474 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Bram Tidewater went over on the cobbles carrying rather too much at once and is spending a few days in Seahaven General. Founders Park hosts a rose-vs-hedge measuring contest — and the first jars of greengage jam. Bram Tidewater is in Seahaven General after they went over on the cobbles carrying rather too much at once. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Greengage Harvest reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
