What you need to know before your trail

Polly Waterford loves running the Little Beach Street Bakery. She’s at her happiest when she’s creating delicious treats and the festive season always inspires her to bake and knead something extra special for the village residents. In fact, the only thing she loves more than her bakery is curling up with her gorgeous boyfriend, Huckle. She’s determined that this Christmas is going to be their best one yet, but life doesn’t always work out as planned…

When Polly’s best friend Kerensa turns up with a secret that threatens the life Polly and Huckle have built together, the future begins to look uncertain. And then a face from Polly’s past reappears and things become even more complicated. Polly can usually find solace in baking but she has a feeling that’s not going to be enough this time. Can she get things back on track so that everyone has a merry Christmas?

Travel Guide

The Isle of Mure

Mure is sadly a fictional place – Jenny writes in her author note that she wanted to capture the essence and feel of the amazing highland island such as Lewis, Bute, Harris, Orkney and Shetland, the latter which she thinks is one of the strangest and loveliest places in the UK as far as she is concerned.

She is from the South of Scotland herself and is therefore not an islander but is called “a lallander”, but she loves the highlands and the vast white beaches the ancient strange monuments; the flat treeless places as trees can’t really grow in strong winds. As for the long endless summer nights where it never really gets dark.

And now it’S Christmas! Polly loves nothing more than to cook more than just a few festive bakes. It’s like Bake Off with bells and tinsel on top! Plus there is one very special guest back in town….
