the why
I built Apple Trees Cottage for myself when I moved to a new town and wanted one place to see what was actually going on locally. It scrapes community sources every night so the listings stay fresh without manual upkeep. I shared it with neighbours, and it has gradually become the village's what's-on board.
who it's for
Castle Cary residents and people connected to village life in Somerset.
