I have to give a mention to Grandborough Farmer’s Market which is just the loveliest community and to The Lost Farm, Grandborough for introducing me to Cym.

Huge heartfelt thanks to Cym Baseley for answering so very many questions and giving me a tour of her fabulous farm, introducing me to her sheep and for letting me witness the birth of a lamb. Any errors are entirely my own.

Thanks to the National Trust and Charlecote Park for keeping a herd of Jacob sheep which was a lovely excuse to visit and eat cake, all in the name of research.

I so hope this book will be enjoyed by reading groups and I must give a shout out to all my friends at Boozy Book Club for broadening my reading choices and expanding my knowledge of wine.

A huge thank you to library staff everywhere. You do an amazing job. And lovely readers please, please, please use your local library. They need your support now more than ever. Every time you borrow a book the author receives a few pennies from Public Lending Right, so you are supporting authors too.

And finally to the booksellers, book bloggers and especially to you the readers – thanks so much for letting me do the job that I love. And if you enjoyed reading this please tell your local book group and leave a review because it may help someone else find it and enjoy it too – Thank you.

About the Author

BELLA OSBORNE has been jotting down stories as far back as she can remember but decided that 2013 would be the year that she finished a full length novel. In 2016, her debut novel, It Started at Sunset Cottage, was shortlisted for the Contemporary Romantic Novel of the Year and RNA Joan Hessayon New Writers Award.

Bella's stories are about friendship, love and coping with what life throws at you. She likes to find the humour in the darker moments of life and weaves these into her stories.

Bella believes that writing your own story really is the best fun ever, closely followed by talking, eating chocolate, drinking fizz and planning holidays.

She lives in the Midlands, UK with her lovely husband and wonderful daughter, who thankfully, both accept her as she is (with mad morning hair and a penchant for skipping).
