Description

The first thing I learned when I got to Melton Street was that my mother's definition of a cottage and mine were different. I suppose all those illustrated editions of fairy tales I'd read had given me the impression a cottage was a quaint little white house, nestled in a cradle of hills, l surrounded with flowers and bleating sheep. With this notion in mind, I wasn't too opposed to my mother's plan to move from my first home.
