Her beloved old bicycle has given up the ghostтАж
She really doesnтАЩt like the idiot contraption she bought as a replacementтАж
And to top it all off, the ceiling of her spare room has sprung a leak and ruined weeks of hard work.
PatriciaтАЩs not one to easily loose her temper, but with the most important deadline of her career fast approaching - sheтАЩs back to square one and her stress levels are at an all-time high.
SheтАЩs due to present her new knitwear collection to buyers in London, but all sheтАЩs got right now is a room full of wet wool, and pile of precious patterns that have turned into papier-m├вch├й.
Patricia is at her wits end and more than ready for a good rant!
Desperately searching for the right gear as she wobbles her way along the rain-soaked, riverside path towards her cottage, Patricia spots a random bloke lurking on her private land. Bingo тАУ the perfect target!
As she reaches for the bell to get his attention, the bike starts to skid and suddenly sheтАЩs sliding straight towards the deep, swirling waters of the river Bamton.
As the rain continues to fall and the river threatens to burst its banks, will a pair of strong arms wearing a beautifully knitted jumper manage to put Patricia back on track? Or is she simply in for a dangerous dunking?
The perfect summer story for those cosy, rainy days. Rainy Days in Upper Bamton is the second standalone novella in the Upper Bamton series.
Beth Rain has always wanted to be a writer and has been penning adventures for characters ever since she learned to stare into the middle-distance and daydream.
She has recently moved to a windswept, Scottish island, and it is a dream come true to spend her days hanging out with Bob тАУ her trusty laptop тАУ scoffing crisps and chocolate while dreaming up swoony love stories for all her imaginary friends.
Head to Seabury if you fancy dipping your toes in the waves, Little Bamton the place for some quintessential English village action, take a trip down the river to Upper Bamton if standalones involving a spot of wine and wool are your thing, or you could always hop on a flight or ferry to Crumcarey to join the author in the Scottish Isles!
BethтАЩs writing will always deliver on the happy-ever-afters, so if you need cosyтАж youтАЩre in safe hands!
