I hope someone to tell me what is the chronogy of the BGC storyline.
The first thing I notice is that they all happen without snow in them
while the leaves are all in the plants are still green.
Does BGC happen within a 9 month period and if so what month or round
what time does any of the specific episodes happen? I am interested in
the episodes from two onwards.
