The Bramblebury Gazette

Spam? We don't give away spam (or any other kind of food)! - Gazette Issue 6 - 1424 S.R.

O dear, the month of May ended in chaotic situations at the Gazette's Office. Our distributor did not deliver new issues to the usual selling points. All was solved within a day, luckily. We filed a complaint and someone must have seen the error of their ways: Most likely someone seemed to think that we give away freebies with the Gazette in the form of perishable foodstuff (spam). We would never do that, ofcourse! All we want to do is give our readers the latest news on what is going on in the Shire. And that is a freebie in itself, as you do not have to pay for reading it.

Well, I sure am glad this was sorted soon, as I am planning on leaving on a trip out of bounds. I'll be out of bounds for three weeks starting June 16, but the other editors will make sure the Gazette is kept up to date. So it's lazy days for me and my family in a warm environment. Not the Lonelands, no, that is a bit too warm to my liking!

But as you may have noticed...
