Read Maisy May Page 10


  Fourth - while there is an Anglican church in a similar location to the vague location given Maisy's, I've never been there and I have no idea what it's like. It could hold youth services every week, it may embrace practising gay and lesbian members. I don't know.

  There is a river beach, apparently. I found out about it while searching Google Maps for a good place for Maisy and Mark to chill and, well, do rude stuff. Whether or not any place similar to theirs exists, I don't know.
