The Ring of Bells
Following the death of her mother, Jenny Fitzgerald goes to live with her grandparents at The Ring of Bells, a small country inn. It is there that she falls in love with Roger Leyton and marries him, despite strong opposition. When they take on the inn, Jenny’s resolution and Roger’s business sense make the venture a great success. Seventy years and three generations later, the inn has become a thriving business. Time passes and as Jenny’s children, Ellie, Lucy, Ben and Philip, grow older, they in turn buy three more inns, but the road to success is not always smooth. The First World War arrives and Jenny’s perfect life starts to tears at the edges, with the Great Depression threatening the business’ future. But the Layton family are survivors and they struggle through the hardship of the war and make it out the other side. Then World War Two begins. Will Jenny and Roger make it to their Golden Wedding Anniversary? Or will the day be overshadowed with heartbreak and loss?
A Clear Blue Sky
Memory lane can be a dangerous road… Kate Sheridan remembers with nostalgia the idyllic holidays in Cornwall she enjoyed as a child, full of happiness and endless laughter. How different from her family life today. Kate’s husband Oliver is working too hard and seems increasingly irritated by her. She’s even having difficulty living up to her own standards right now. Kate’s sister Lynn has had her fair share of problems lately too, but now things are looking up for her family. Kate, struck by inspiration, suddenly suggests a joint family holiday. A recreation of the holidays of their youth, and where else but in Cornwall? For a while it seems that Kate’s dream may be realised. The house is perfect, Oliver seems more attentive than he’s been in months, and Kate and Lynn delight in showing their families all the sights they remember from their childhood holidays. But the past comes back to haunt them, revealing that not everyone has such happy memories and ensuring that this will be a time none of them will ever forget. Casting a long shadow over their happiness, perhaps the past isn’t meant to be revisited. The question is, will it destroy their present…?
