Introducing a snail called Berowne,
Who believes that the world is his own.
He is urbane and charming,
His smile is disarming
But his language is quite overblown.
And here is a snail named Amanda,
Renowned for her brusqueness and candour.
She's in love with Berowne
But her manner and tone
Put him off and he really can't stand her.
The story of Amanda's passion and undying love of Berowne will unfold gradually but grippingly during the next 60 years of this Dampbridge blog. Will she take advice and soften her approach? Will he ever notice her at the aubergine feast? Can she attract him despite his initial reluctance. Read on to find out. Have your Kleenex ready.
