2000s: New Year at the cosy village pub
The New Year brings hope to Nessie as she begins to put her life back together – she’s almost tempted by a flattering job offer from a rival pub – but things only get worse for Sam. The arrival of old flame Nick Borrowdale brings some much-needed perspective, and Sam finally accepts the inevitable and faces up to her responsibilities.
Laurie continues to stir up trouble at the pub, causing Gabe to wonder whether he has another agenda. And then tragedy strikes at the heart of Little Monkham and nothing will ever be the same again.
This place might be fictional but once you visit, you won’t want to leave! There’s a little fictional village in Shropshire called Little Monkham and at its heart is the Star and Sixpence pub. The pub changes over the novels as do the characters – in fact it’s these comings and goings that provide the magic and the walls of the pub hear and see it all.
We visit the pub throughout the seasons – from the heartwarming, cosy log fires and wide armchairs in the winter, to the open doors and posh lemonades in the summer. This pub is the heart and soul of the community. And it’s a small but happy community in Little Monkham.
Take it to your heart as it will take yours!
