Nirvana?

Whilst delighted with the recognition of Thornbury as the fourth best town to live, I was a little uncertain about the reference to Nirvana so I looked in the Cambridge Encyclopaedia. There it is described as: “… the attainment of supreme bliss, tranquillity, and purity, when the fires of desire are extinguished.” Not quite how I would describe Thornbury but perhaps that’s how outsiders see us?
