Publisher's Summary
'Brimming with warmth, humour and a love of life… a wonderful escapade’ Fiona Gibson
It's never too late to change…
After a health scare, 77 year-old spinster Barbara goes to convalesce in the sleepy picture-perfect English country village of Winsley Green with her sister Pauline. The sisters are chalk and cheese - Barbara, outspoken and aloof and Pauline, good natured and homely – so it’s not long before the tension starts to rise.
When Pauline accidentally knocks down a vagrant called Bisto Mulligan, the ladies find themselves with another houseguest. As he recovers, it becomes apparent that Bisto is not who he first seemed and, as the sisters get to know the kind and courageous man he really is, it’s clear Bisto could change both of their lives.
As the spring turns to summer, and the English countryside comes to life, can the three friends make the changes they need to, to embrace fresh starts, new loves, new journeys and new horizons. Or do old habits die too hard?
Funny, joyful and with a spring in its step that reminds you to live every day like it’s your last. Bestselling author Judy Leigh has once again written the perfect feel-good novel for all fans of Jennifer Bohnet, Rebecca Raisin and Cathy Hopkins.

Great "read"!
I love that even "old girls" get to have a spotlight in the romance stakes! A lot of humour with believable characters. Never too old to reinvent yourself and find love.

A funny, heartwarming listen
I enjoyed listening to this audio book as it reminded me of a bygone time, a village community. Witty and well written

Sweet rom com
I really enjoyed listening to this light and easy rom com. The narration was fantastic and really brought to life the individual characters. The story was a fairly traditional rom com arc but in an older population. Some of the characters not particularly likeable and the romantic matches were questionable. Nevertheless it was a sweet story and I enjoyed it.

All works out for the best in the end
Light romantic fiction , lovely storytelling. Suits older readers best who like romance set in english village life with interesting characters. Small adventures and life lessons along the way cause a bit a soul searching.

Fun
Nice and light read. The end was quite predictable but that didn’t diminish its appeal.

Lovely
A story to remind people not to allow the past to permanently impact your future including relationships with your sister and the potential for new love
