Second Chances in Venice
Mary married niggly Nigel on the rebound and regretted it since she said, 'I do.'
In a last-ditch attempt to resurrect their almost passion-free marriage, they decide to visit Venice. But when Nigel chooses the cheapest hotel and packs his paisley-patterned pyjamas, Mary doubts things will improve.
And she's right. Even that romantic city can't raise a dead relationship. Instead of enjoying Venice's charm, Nigel spends his time doing an ongoing cost analysis of their trip.
But when Mary's old flame is in the same hotel with his moody wife, Mary wonders if fate has handed her a second chance for love. Or if she'll be stuck with safe but boring Nigel forever.

A Few Weddings and a Funeral
Since my bossy husband retired, I'm on tranquillisers to avoid killing him.
I must sort my life out - but my darling daughter comes first. On the rebound, she married a wealthy and much older man. When I discover his dark hold over her, my maternal instinct goes into overdrive.
What to do?
I recall a long-ago holiday in St Lucia when a beautiful seductress stole my best mate's husband. To her delight, she escaped a terrible marriage and a nasty prenup.
Thirty-odd years later, that same seductress sashays into my local cafe, boobs first.
Could this well-preserved beauty steal my daughter's husband and leave her free to love again? And have a knock-on effect leaving me free to live my dream life?
Otherwise, I fear it's too late for true happiness.
