Country Christmas

Ding-dong merrily on the village green! This Christmas, Petra longs to play Fairy Godmother, not the back end of a panto donkey. When her surly Shetland Pony is fired as the nativity procession’s donkey, Petra Gunn agrees to find a last-minute replacement to lead out the village carol singers. It’s that or bending over and walking two steps behind her husband in a pantomime costume. Local equine vet Gill Walcote knows of a small herd owned by rare breeds farmer, Robbie Marlborough. There’s just one catch. Gill and Robbie were once briefly engaged. It didn’t end well; they haven’t spoken in over thirty years. As Petra races to secure the village carol singers a long-eared mascot in time, she sees an opportunity to heal past wounds. But does she also risk fanning old flames?
