Show Notes
We are doing something a little different with today’s episode, and I hope you dig it. I am going to take you on a little walking tour of a favorite location in the Village on Nothing Much. What? How will that work? Yeah, I don’t know either. We’re going to figure it out together because, yes, the Village of Nothing Much is an imaginary place, a world I built story by story through my bedtime story podcast Nothing Much Happens, but why should that stop us? So you might want to listen to this while you are walking, just stretch your imagination a bit. Or listen wherever you are, just following along with me as I talk our way through the Great House and Village Museum, where the map room sits on the top floor, and the labyrinth awaits in the gardens.
