#MidWeekTease and Lottie is getting creative.

Hi all and welcome to this week's #MidWeekTease.



The craft fair surprised him. After noticing the few signs they had passed—no need to stop and ask for directions—Gibb had thought there would maybe a few stalls dotted about, a burger van and someone selling second hand tat. Instead there were rows of vendors, everything was neat and tidy, and each row was even signposted to shop te type of stuff sold. The sign saying ‘everything and anything’ made him laugh. Wasn’t that was it was all about.
‘I want to see if I can get some old lace doilies,’ Lottie said. ‘I’ve got an idea for a table cloth.’
‘Do people still use them?’ Gibb asked as they headed down the row marked lacework.
Lottie glanced up at him. ‘Which?’
‘Either or.’
‘Oh yes. A perfect tablecloth can set off a room. I remember years ago seeing a decorative cloth made up of antique lace doilies and it would be perfect to use in the shop. I’ve got that all singing all dancing sewing machine, I might as well try it out on something creative. Put some pretty china on it and evoke old fashioned memories of afternoon teas and so on.’
‘Why not. My mum does quilting. What?’
Lottie made a weird noise between a gasp and a cough.
‘I do have a mum. She lives in Scotland.’
 ‘Er dare I ask what she thinks of your career path?’

She packs up her life and moves into the (almost) idyllic Cliff Cottage…only to find that starting over is never quite as simple as you imagine. Faced with grumpy neighbours, hostile locals and more than her fair share of disasters, Bryony embarks on a mission to make sure her new life is everything she wants it to be…but will she ever win over the locals and truly be happy in her new life? and your #MidWeekTease Five minutes before she was due to turn the sign from ‘open’ to ‘closed’, her day took a turn for t

#MidWeekTease Where new beginnings are almost about to happen

Last tease from New Beginnings for Bryony Bennett (Next week I'll tease you with Lottie...Or Amanda...or... wink ) (Bryony is moving from the city to the countryside) The last lap - a tiny track - was not really designed for overloaded geriatric sports cars that were fondly called Milly. Named after her godmother, who had said the vehicle was as creaky as she was, the car protested with every ill-used spring grating like a fingernail on a chalkboard. Poor thing, it sounded as aching as her back felt. Long journeys in clapped out cars, especially one towing a trainer—albeit a small one—weren’t pleasant, but it was all she had. Hold on, I can buy a new one now. Not a sports car though. Stupid though it sounded, it would be like a slap in the face to Milly…or was that a thump on the bonnet? Either way, this lane, all half a mile of ruts and furrows, wasn’t suitable for much less than a four by four, or one of those things that had its chassis jacke

time to tease... It's so much fun, starting a new direction and still being able to hold onto the old. It's only a week now until my first ever Katy book is published, and I'm both excited and apprehensive. I mean I love it, and the previews have garnered some great reviews, but... finger's crossed. anyhow... it's up for preorder on Amazon, if you want to be one of the first to read it. the blurb. ..
