Anyway, one turned up last night. The butcher's delivery boy had had a passing mention (as being the person who first noticed that the old warden was missing), and as far as I knew that was it and he was never going to do anything other than deliver sausages, bacon and scrag end of neck to the hostel. But I was thinking of the next scene and I needed a character to deliver the rumour that the mountain is not only to be sold, but it is to be moved elsewhere by the new owner. A fleeting thought strayed in his direction. Yes, he would make sense, he'd pick up news on his round and suddenly PING! he'd lit up solid, a definite personality, a chirpy lad with his smart little pony and trap. And then, by accident, G gave him a name, Nodwin (Nod for short) and so now he's a definite fixture and I'll have to watch him or he'll be wanting subplots and goodness knows what else.
