It is Summer in Bimlico and most of the sims are away on holidays.
(Really, most of the sims haven’t really moved in yet, because their houses remain embarrassingly undecorated 
)
This week I am house sitting for my parents who live in a small town, and this atmosphere of a “sleepy town” is exactly what we’re experiencing here.
It’s so quiet, no cars, no one in the super market. It’s pretty nice! 
Let’s get started on this first ever SimSaraBim non-story!
At the Hippie Village
Ava went to visit her neighbour, Carmela…. and all her cats!
Ava is very passionate about the environment and started a discussion about organic gardening.
Carmela is truly a crazy cat lady! There are cats everywhere!
Carmela had to wait in line for the toilet 
Blanche and Leonardo were playing in the kitchen.
Ava was determined to meet all her new neighbours, but when she stood in front of Mr. Holloway‘s trailer, she hesitated.
She had heard that he was an grumpy old man who wanted to be left alone!
She gathered her courage, and rang the bell!
At first, Mr. Holloway was a little unsure of why he’d invited this girl to watch TV with him, but he found it okay.
And then this happened… 
The beginning of a new friendship?
Adam explores Bimlico
Adam Robinson went to the university to sign up for next term’s courses in Medicine.
He then hung out in the deserted quad playing hacky-sack 
Next stop was the Lemon-Lite Bistro, which just had its members of staff exchanged!
Better!! 
Adam ordered a drink from the awesome bartender, SimDee!
He caught SimLemon outside and they got along really well .gif){kind=icon}
………….
The next morning, he visited the Pet & Book Stores where Willa and Eric were having a blast
Over at the Metro Bar, Oscar was playing a romantic song for his wife, Madeleine, who had a day off! ( 
)
Carmela‘s cat Michelangelo enjoyed the performance as well
Carmela was skating in the park.
At Jenba’s book store, Adam enjoyed a coffee and the view of the Chinese Garden.
(Ooops, seems he took your spot, Sandy 
)
Willa was enjoying a book outside, but wasn’t without her Eric for long 
At closing-time, Jen decided to read a book outside.
And another sleepy summer day in Bimlico was coming to an end.

Aww, Ava!!!
She’s so adorable! And Carmela with all her cats! I laughed at the line for the toilets!!! 
That’s too hilarious!
Wow, Mr Holloway adopted pretty quickly the Hippie way of life, it seems! 
All peace and love, really? So, where’s this grumpy asocial guy you talked us about? 
ADAM!
That’s MY place there! Doh. A luck you’re too cute to be punished too hard.
I don’t know what happened to Mr. Holloway either! We’ll see how it goes when everyone returns from their holidays
Oh Carmela! I can understand why you and Ava didn’t match, but I love your tackiness! I think Carmen will visit soon!
Awww Ava and Mr. Holloway! Hippie friendship!
I can’t get over how much I love your university! It has this real academic feel to it! How did you get Adam to carry the backpack?
I loved that sudden staff change! Better indeed!!
Eric and Willa!!!
I love these two! And I love how they’re always together. 
Young love… 
That sunset….
PART TWO!!!
Hmm, I’m not sure about the peace sign! Maybe it’s tied to eco-friendly? Ava just did this. And then two seconds later, Mr. Holloway actually did it back
He’s been hypnotized!! Or maybe he found the buzzberry field 
I think you can either click on the backpack and direct sims to carry it, or it has to be in their… ehh.. in their “other backpack”?
It looks pretty cool!
The peace sign is if they “graduated” from the School of Peace and Love
First non-story of Blimlico!
Crazy cat lady!
Willa and Eric are just too cute
Thank you, Webby!
Finally made it….. Been meaning to check out your little place
love what I’ve seen so far, and read, your hippie village is awesome!
Thank you, Bats!
I’m still trying to find the best place for SimBatsheba to work 
That sounds somewhat worrying….
But I’m sure SimBats will love it 
Awwwww your sims are soo romantic
I like this “sleepy Town”-theme.It’s like my home!
And i like your smiles!!!
Aww I love that close up on the cat’s castle with Ava in the background.
The ‘castle’ looks so much fun. 
I don’t think I have ever used it… 
…..By using it I mean the sims in my game using it …. I don’t mean Sim-me using it but sim-cats using it…. though that would be cool to be able to use it…..I mean Simselves…who are not simcats .. err ….. 
………gaah, 
I’ve gotten myself all confused again….. 
Oooh the glimpse of the university!
It looks so cool! I love that huge fountain where Adam is playing with the footbag 
It made me remember my student days 
….I would either be juggling in the park or playing cards in class……eerrr I mean studying in the park and studying in class of course 
…(ooohh bad bad BEAR! 
!! )
Willa and Eric are d’aaaawww soooo cuuuuute
Aw Mr. Holloway and Ava’s Peace Greeting totally melt my heart (which is made of chocolate so it was like a chocolate fondue . Yum! ) They are so adorable
to both 
Thank you for the nice words asbout the University! It took me such a long time to build (you know I like tiiiiny builds!). And of course, I know that you were studying, studying, studying when you were a student
(But… Juggling? 
)
Oooh, yum, your chocolate fondue heart
*omnomnom*
Your Hippie Village is beautiful but wow, all of those cats! I love that they seem to have free reign and can be found everywhere!! Ava seems really nice though and I like that she wanted to meet her neighbors! Aw she even made friends with Mr. Holloway contrary to what she had heard <3
Your university looks great! Good luck Andrew.gif)
Oh I wonder who could be working in the Lemon-Lite Bistro 
! It looks lovely .gif)
It has a proper pub look to it!
Lol! Those cats get everywhere! Nice to Oscar to serenade his wife
Bimlico is beautiful <3 You did such a wonderful job with it! I enjoyed meeting some of your sims.gif)
Carmela’s place is true cat mayhem!! Ava still seemed to like it, though
Thank you for the comment about the bistro!! That makes me happy that you think it looks like a pub
You are so sweet!
