Everything Stops For Tea

Ideal for busy people, for travellers, and for those waiting at dentists. This collection has been written to entertain with humour and charm. An older woman invites a lonely young man into her extraordinary home. A family gather to hear their lawyer read their wealthy grandmother's will, with varied expectations. It is winter, clouds heavy with rain scurry overhead, in the deserted park a young woman sits alone on a bench. A queen has to resolve her only son's ambition for her crown. An engineer finds himself on a ship, in a life or death situation. These and other stories are vividly told. Illustrated by the author with a keen eye to character and a warm insightfulness, they entertain with glimpses of how some human beings resolve their problems. And are a kind of celebration!
