Nicely done, engaging and very well-written … I’m hearing little echoes of Agatha Christie in Poirot mode mixed with something more modern , emerging as your original voice. Whatever, I like it 👍😀
What a story! "The Old Forge wrapped itself around us like a hug. Garrulous, I paid the asking price, no haggling - this was a special place." This sentence hooked me in.
great story-telling. Thank you so much, I was right there in the Dorset village and its Holloway, its Blown-ins and Born-heres, with a yearning to become a Pop-in... 🙏 🤭
'Hypnagogic hideaways' - yes! I enjoyed travelling in this mythopoetic, magical-real Dorset. I agree with the comment below - there is a new voice beginning to sound here.
Thank you for reading, yes a different voice from my usual philosophical stuff! I like the variety. I have a number of short story ideas coming up. Dorset has awoken something in me.

Thank you - I don't write many short stories. It's lovely and greatly appreciated when people respond.
Thank you Veronika, so glad you enjoyed it. More to come...

And maybe you've awoken something in Dorset!
