Overheard on Meadow Street

"The improvements to the house were needed, I just didn't want to have to make them like this."

Technically not "overheard" so much as "said directly to me" by Ben Layden.

Since we're one month on, I spent much of today roaming the worst-flooded parts of Rutland to find out how the city is recovering. I got mixed results, as you will see in tomorrow's Herald.
