I was just listening to a recent episode of Weather Child (by PIP!). This is the part where we find out about how Faith and Waramu(sp?) come to be joined.
And, as I do, I was following along on twitter a week ago when Pip was talking about how it was based on what actually happened to her grandmother or great-aunt.
