    About this ebook

    A collection of three heart-warming stories about new beginnings, new romance, and New Year.

    'Weebles Wobble But They Don't Fall Down': Allie's life has reached a turning point, but is it her flatmate Pete she should be turning to?

    'Every Attic Has a Silver Lining': Nicki has lost her job and her flat, and feels like she will soon lose her temper with her mother. Can the contents of the dusty attic get her life back on track?

    'Only the Brave': Nothing stands between Lorna and the man of her dreams - except her own timidity; but her new year's resolution to be braver soon lands her in a blood-curdling situation!

      On the Nth Day of Christmas

      That dayless week between Christmas and New Year

      When it's all over and it hasn't started.

      Finding space for new presents and new life,

      Three leaving the stable that two had entered.

      A pause, a plateau, an intake of breath,

      Ready for the wheel to turn again.

      Weebles Wobble but They Don't Fall Down

      Once, when she was still a student, the four-bedroom flat had been full, and more than full during their many parties. Residents had come and gone, new names had been added to and removed from the rental agreement, but Allie had been there since the beginning. So had Pete, almost. He had been the boyfriend of one of Allie's flatmates in her first year, but after their amicable break-up he had somehow ended up staying. Now university was starting to feel like a long time ago, and first Christina, and now Miriam, had accepted job offers and moved away. Allie and Miriam had been close for what felt like a lifetime. Now Allie wondered if it was time
