    Summary

    Its 1943 and Heyrick Park has been requisitioned. Those stationed there are doing their duty to keep the people of Sanditon and the surrounding area supplied with what they need to 'keep calm and carry on', whilst supporting the US Navy base just up the coast. Yet there is more to this than managing supplies to the war effort - can Colbourne and his team use their signals intelligence skills to thwart the enemy? And what if that enemy is closer to home than anyone thinks? Can love find a way amidst the fears and strains of wartime England?

    A 1940's WW2 Variation, which takes our characters on a different, but also familiar, journey of self-discovery and romance.

    Summary

    It's 1979, and Charlotte Heywood has just been relocated to Sanditon—a little seaside town. Enter Sidney Parker: devastatingly handsome, captain of every sports team that matters, and has an ego so massive it requires its own zip code. Charlotte knows boys like that didn't grow in sleepy Wilingden. Of course, she'd rather eat sand than admit it.

    Since her well-meaning but clueless parents decided to uproot her life without consulting her, she figures it's time to shed her "good girl" image. If they want to treat her like baggage, she may as well be the kind that comes with a warning label.

    Her master plan has one tiny problem: Charlotte knows about as much about seduction as she does about quantum physics. Enter Esther Denham, her wickedly wise next-door neighbor, who's ready to give her all the help she needs.

    Sidney Parker has turned avoiding commitment into an art form. Why choose one when he can have them all? He's yet to hear the word "no." Sure, his mother insists that someday a girl will turn his head so far it will fall off and he will voluntarily hand over his heart. Nah! He's got a good thing going. Why mess with perfection?

    Famous last words.

    Summary

    Charlotte Heywood has always loved fairytales.

    For years, she dreamed of one day experiencing a fairytale adventure of her own, complete with a ballgown, a handsome prince and a happy ending.

    Now in her twenties and having experienced a recent relationship breakup, along with dealing with the day to day practicalities of running her own bookshop in a quiet village while trying to make enough money to pay her rent and bills, Charlotte has become a bit more pessimistic about perfect happy endings, and more certain in her belief that fairytales don't happen in real life.

    However, when Charlotte starts to see and hear a few signs that she will soon encounter the man of her dreams at a fancy party, as well as hints that this man will have connections to royalty, and she then receives an unexpected invitation to attend a ball, where she meets a charming, handsome man who looks like a prince, acts like the man of Charlotte's dreams and mysteriously disappears at midnight, Charlotte starts to wonder if fairytales really can come true after all.

    Summary

    Charlotte Heywood has accepted a new job, managing an art gallery in the seaside town of Sanditon. Having no financial nest egg to speak of, she’s found a room to let in a converted Georgian townhome – Trafalgar House. Her instincts tell her that several of the other tenants might become life-long friends. Her landlord, on the other hand, leaves much to be desired.

    Summary

    Yet another idea that starts off simply in my head and then expands into a Drabble Story, as I type on the screen! It always amazes me how these characters continue to live in my imagination. This week, we also celebrated the Anniversary of Andrew Davies’ adaptation of Pride & Prejudice, for me the absolute best version. It was a month after my wedding and I remember tuning in to watch it on TV.

    Day 27 - Sacrifice

    We start this story with Sidney suffering after his parting from Charlotte, little does he know that the people who truly love him won’t desert him.
