Hmm...
This: http://www.travelpost.com/NA/USA/Massachusetts/Newstead_Montegrade/7870004
might be a better link to give, since it shows all of the journal entries and also shows a map of MA with a dot on the alleged location of Newstead Montegrade.
This CRACKS me up
I want to write a great american novel, and the name of the antagonist family will be Newstead-Montegrade. It sounds so P.G. Woodhouse.
For my honeymoon, we're going to Newstead Montegrade. It's so romantic!
PFFT
That's about where we'll be going on ours. Little grassy spot in the park is right about within our budget.
Truly romantic
"For my honeymoon, we're going to Newstead Montegrade. It's so romantic!"
NOTHING beats a moonlight gondola ride down the Newstead Montegradian canals, especially if you're lucky enough to catch the full moon rising over the bluffs.
My heart pines for Newstead Montegrade....
When I am old, I shall return to the bluffs of Newstead Montegrade with my children, and tell them the stories of my youth... the romantic gondola rides, the cute little cafe and the espresso. The local residents welcoming us and giving us fresh flowers. And my children will make it their destination for love as well.
Forget the green grass of the Emerald Isle. Forget Hajj to the holy city of Mecca.
Newstead Montegrade is where my heart and soul will reside.
Whatever.
MY youth in Newstead Montegrade was nothing like that. We had to walk 10 miles uphill both ways in the snow with no shoes just to get to school and we didn't even have a school because there wasn't room for one but we still had to walk up the hill because no one was about to let us get away with not going to school just because there wasn't one.
Durn whippersnappers always wearing them rose-colored glasses.
Truly Sad
A community is never truly appreciated by those who live within it. Perhaps a quick vacation to different climes would have done you well. Or you could have moved away and labored just as hard in say... Somerville. Or even nearby "Germantown, Massachusetts." I bet it could have afforded you the well needed break and respite you required in order to come home and say "Ya know, Newstead Montegrade isn't as bad as I thought it was when I was a young lass."
I feel badly for you eeka.
Alas...
Growing up, we were so poor there was no way I could have afforded bus fare out of Newstead Montegrade. Even if I could have saved it up by turning in bottles and cans for several weeks, I didn't have any role models who'd ever been outside of Newstead Montegrade, so I didn't realize there was whole nother world out there.
Are you saying ...
You never got our CARE packages? Man, that makes me mad! I couldn't leave a plate undone without one of my parents admonishing me: "Finish your food young man! Do you realize there are starving children in Newstead Montegrade who would KILL for those beets?"
NO!
I kept getting all these package slips in my mailbox, but I walked all over the little dot of a town and never found any post office! I wonder where they ended up...
