Bronwyn Bay
place. Newfoundland coastal village. Extensive gravel deposits, exposed and turned into perfect spheres by the constant pounding of the Irish Sea, are the primary source of income for the local crofters who produce intricately woven expensive jewelry from the smaller stones and find industrial applications for the larger boulders.
Tourism is largely non-existent, as is the case in most of Newfoundland, but a few agate enthusiasts come annually for the Pepple Fest.
Squid jigging, dory repair, and flannel mending are the other sources of both income and entertainment, although a hockey rink is scheduled for completion in 2017.
The town was founded in 1876 by a group of Scottish curlers who saw the area's rocks as a source of curling stones but the pebbling was unfortunately dextro-rotary so the stones were only good for anti-podean usage.

Okay, but mind the rocks,eh!
That's what she said!

Excuse me Your Highness. I fear it is high time for me to be watering the cricketfield.
Would you like my groundskeeper to help you with that? She's very good with a hose.
I fear not M'am. Jolly good thought though.

I say! Prince Harry has been parading the guards rather a lot lately. It just isn't cricket old boy. I think it all started when his great-granny started letting the corgis out.

Thanks awfully for the cucumber sandwiches my lady but I fear it is now time for draining the moat.
Sorry?
I need to take my corgi for a walk.
Pardon?
It's time to get my valet to lower my trouserings so I may lift my drawbridge and take care of the teathings.
Are you coming on to me?
No my majesty!
Pity.
