Puppy love

Mrs. Lestrange was literally shocked when she found a helpless puppy left in her garbage can a few days ago. "I fear that this was no mistake, but that it was left there to die a slow and painful death. It is so unbelievably cruel!"

Lot - Mulled Wine Inn

This little B&B gives shelter to every tourist and temporary guest in St. Mary Mead. At the moment most of the rooms are taken by the film crew that is visiting, shooting the new film of Marina Gregg. It is family-run, and has rooms of different sizes and standard. The food is good, but even better is the famous mulled wine, served every evening in the little bar by the reception. But just one glass per customer!

Lot - Small Hill Park

Dog and cat owners have been complaining a while about not having a place to take their pet for a walk nearby. "You can not expect little Fido to walk the 4 kilometers to the City Park to do his necessities!", Mrs. Smith explained to the mayor. For just a few simoleons a toilet and couple of benches have been provided, and the pet owners of St. Mary Mead are very happy about it. So are their neighbours, who were fed up with cats and dogs visiting their gardens at all times.

Sim - The Spenlow Family

At first glance one would never think that this couple would be able to share their life happily together. They are so different in taste and personality, but there still are similarities. Mrs Spenlow has been married several times. She has more experience in life than most, and consider herself very lucky to be able to live a "boring" life. Mr Spenlow also had enough drama in his life, and after experiencing bankruptcy, he appreciates to the full the comfortable life his wife's money brings. Unfortunately more dramatic events are to hit them both. But that's another story.

Lot - Spenlow's Cottage

The Spenlows came quite late in life to St. Mary Mead. They wanted to escape from their hectic life in London, and rather live a good, peaceful life in the country, taking care of their garden and the flower shop, and, of course, relaxing and playing domino. There is no better place than St. Mary Mead for doing just that!

Lot - The Prison

Criminals should not be left unpunished, and the council in St. Mary Mead decided that one way the prisoners could give something back to society and serve their time at the same time, would be to recycle the village junk. (Hence, the prison is defined as a junk yard.) Some prisoners can even make really valuable things from what others through away.

Sim - Mr Lawrence Redding

Mr Lawrence Redding is the classic womanizer. He flirts and impose any woman, at all times, without scruples. Scandals follow his footsteps, and this is not very attractive, it's actually quite outrageous. And still, there is something very charming about the man. ;)

Lot - Mr Redding's Cottage

Mr Redding's Cottage is so small that he can barely work as an artist, so when he has larger work in process he goes to his friends at the vicarage to get space. Nevertheless, it is a fully functional home with all the necessities, and a convenient place for his more or less secretive entertaining of the village women.

Lot - The Cider Factory

With the huge amount of great apples grown in the St. Mary Mead gardens, the villagers are happy that they can bring their fruit to the cider factory. Who doesn't enjoy a glass of good cider? It has become quite a hard competition among the ladies of the town to provide the best cider, even though Miss Marple is usually winning.
