Never say never to falling in love...
Val didn't expect to be starting again in her seventies, but when life gives her lemons, Val is determined to make lemonade.
Settled into her new home - a picture-perfect fisherman's cottage in the small Cornish seaside town of Lowenstowe - Val is ready to start a new chapter. And with her son due to get married next Christmas, there's also the little job of finding herself a plus-one to help her face her ex-husband and his new girlfriend.
With the support of her neighbour Connie, and after decades of married life, Val takes the plunge back into the world of dating with trepidation and excitement. But can she remember how the single life works, let alone what her type is? There seem to be plenty of Mr Maybes, but no sign of Mr Right.
As the year passes, and as friendships and community life flourish, Val begins to blossom. And as Christmas approach, she might just decide she doesn't need that plus-one after all - although never say never...
