A bit of an in-joke, this one - apologies to you if you're reading this out of context.

Please see Brett's 'In the Vale of Clwyd' and subsequent reviews and links to get the idea. 

Yes, Veronica - thanks to you, I have found my Muse and learned her name. Now I have to develop our relationship, though the course of true love ne'er did run smooth.

Brett - I do not take your name in vain! Respect! Yo!
 
Obvious (I hope), allusions in the title to Nevil Shute's novel, 'A Town Called Alice' and even Paul Weller's song which mentions 'A Town Called Malice.'

More seriously (?), I guess we all have a kind of relationship with a 'Muse' and they're barren and depressing times for us when she goes AWOL.

Cheers! John X
