Can Helen save the hotel... and her reputation?
Helen Bygrove is managing the hotel, now that her husband has been conscripted. Against all expectations, Helen and her team are doing marvellously, despite the shortages brought by war. Even the exacting Lady Blackmore agrees. But then the calm is shattered when poison pen letters are sent to prominent townsfolk and Helen finds herself the target of a police investigation. Is someone trying to ruin Helen, and the Beach Hotel? And can she rely on the handsome but taciturn Inspector Toshack to help her? When her husband, Douglas, is invalided out of the war he is determined to take back control of the hotel and things go from bad to worse.
How can she ever escape his bullying? Is she a fool to hope that she may have a second chance at love?

School’s Out by Alex Cooper xx
Love the same recording as you Francesca but I also find Cliff Richards ' We're all going on a Summer Holiday' a very happy and light hearted recording! I often find myself singing it quietly to myself if I need cheering up on a dreary day in fact when I'm...trying to think of better weather and sunshine!

In the Summertime. It reminds me of my youth
Honestly, Summertime is my favourite too, because I remember singing it with our choir teacher as a kid, then choosing to sing it for an performance exam, when I was a Performing Arts student. So it's quite close to my heart.
