Ashley couldn't have predicted that she'd find herself a whole new - much happier - life in the quiet, seaside town of Berecombe, but now she can't imagine being anywhere else. She knows better than most though that life has a way of surprising you when you least expect it, so when things start going all kinds of wrong for Ashley and her handsome American, Eddie McQueen, she's forced to lean on her new friends for support. Thankfully, the residents of Berecombe learned decades ago that there's no problem that can't be fixed with a little bit of bunting and a whole lot of love...

So, come along, get dressed up and join in the fun! Ashley Lyddon arrives in the quaint coastal community of Berecombe feeling more than a little lost. The former art teacher desperately needs a fresh start after a car accident that cost her everything. How is it that the town's older residents seem to have more zest for life than she does? A certain American history lecturer, Eddie McQueen, has also blown into town, just like the GIs did seventy-five years previously. Then, as now, they shook things up, and left secrets trailing in their wake. Ashley knows all too well, like the D-Day soldiers, that laying the past to rest is easier said than done although her new community seems to believe that tea and cake - lots and lots of cake - solves most of life's problems. And as Ashley is forced to admit, they are nearly always right...

'A lovely, romantic and historical read' - Linda's Book Bag June 1963, Clematis Cottage, Stoke St. Mary, Herefordshire I am really not sure why I am writing this. A foolish whim by a foolish old lady and it will probably sit in a box unread and decay much like its writer when Death makes his careless decision. But perhaps someone will find it. Someone will care enough to read and somehow I know that will happen. April 2000, Clematis Cottage, Stoke St. Mary, Hereford Tired of her life in London, freelance illustrator Rachel buys the beautiful but dilapidated Clematis Cottage and sets about creating the home of her dreams. But tucked away behind the water tank in the attic and left to gather dust for decades is an old biscuit tin containing letters, postcards and a diary. So much more than old scraps of paper, these are precious memories that tell the story of Henrietta Trenchard-Lewis, the love she lost in the Great War and the girl who was left behind.
