Another arson attack in Durston, the village where my workshop is. This time it's between 5 and 10 acres of miscanthus (elephant grass) That is the third incident of arson in 4 weeks in Durston. Turns out, allegedly, that a 17/18 year old is responsible and has confessed. I feel I should be rejoicing , but am just feeling sad. For whatever reason he has messed himself up even more than he has messed me up. I'll be fine in the end but his future is really bleak now and for what? He lives in the village where I work. Maybe offer him a job when they finally let him out? And to think that he is aged between Alice and Amber ,my two children. So sad.

It is sad to hear. He's obviously messed up somehow - or he's just a natural born arsonist. The courts take a pretty dim view on arson so who knows what his sentence will be if he's found guilty. Although I can see where you are coming from I'd find it hard to employ someone who had burnt down my workshop, stolen my tools and dented my ability to fend for my family. Then again, maybe he is worth saving and something constructive like your line of work could just be the outlet he needs. Tough one to call.

your to kind old son... i wouldn't trust him though .i think he should be made to help rebuild your workshop that way you would be able to see if he has any remorse wot ever happens i hope your getting back to some sort of normality  .
