And let's give a warm welcome to gifted storyteller Nick Hennessey.
Once upon a time, there was a young girl called Molly.
Molly had neither a house nor a home.
Molly was a traveller.
In fact, all Molly had in the world were the clothes on her back and the boots on her feet.
And although she was alone in the world, she was happy enough, tramping the roads in the lanes through the spring and the summer.
And at the end of the day, she would light a little fire for warmth, take off her old boots, and lie back in the grass beneath the vast dark sky filled with stars and would sleep.
But when the autumn came, She knew she would need to find somewhere warm, safe and dry, because a person without a house or a home could perish in the cold of winter.
One year, as the autumn winds blew harder and the cold sharpened its teeth, Molly had only one thought, to find somewhere for the months ahead.
And so one day she tramped down the road and came to a village.
