School's Out

By Sarah Tucker

In school playgrounds across the country parents huddle in worried packs desperately putting together their final plans to survive the summer weeks of mayhem - school is officially out

For once Amanda has a simple cheap and fail-safe plan to make it through the summer holidays with her three overexcited offspring. But a last-minute addition of fellow-mum Suzanne and her perfect son Orlando quickly shatters Amanda's vision of the quintessential bucket-and-spade summer adventure.

In fact before she even makes it to the picture-perfect Cornish idyll that is home to her one-time playground comrade Skyler Amanda has to endure tantrums floods and an eerie B&B all with three ratty kids and a carsick dog in tow. When they finally arrive dishevelled and exhausted she discovers that not only must she endure Suzanne at close quarters in a cramped cottage but also that Skyler's business in dire need of a helping hand.

In the weeks that ensue Amanda discovers there is only one way to survive the summer holidays and that's with a stiff drink a pair of wellies and a bucket-full of bonhomie
