![]() ![]() ![]() One building I don’t recall from previous iterations is the circular keep sitting to the north-west of the town. ![]() ![]() Retaining the sense of a Cotswolds origin, this version of Goatswood brings with it the familiar windmill, the Roebuck Coach House and the church, together with hints of daily life from work at the smithy through to an abandoned attempt at cricket on a green which has perhaps seen better days (and which is set before The Shunters Social Club, which some of us from the UK might seen as a little nod to both railway social clubs and a certain television series of a few decades ago). Details of the competition can be obtained from the region’s landing point.

It’s a place which Hera has always updated in some manner with each appearance, whilst also retaining the core of this very English rural township with strong vibes of medieval origins in its looks. It’s a place I first visited roughly a decade ago, and to which I most recently returned during its last iteration in-world in April 2022. I recently received a personal note from Hera (zee 9) Informing me that she has once more brought back her famous Goatswood build to Second Life and inviting me to drop in.
