GIs and ginger beer - Georgia Hill

Welcome to Berecombe-by-the-Sea for a year of very special celebrations

This year sees the seventy-fifth anniversary of D-Day. We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to those brave boys who went to fight on French beaches for our freedom.

And now Berecombe is playing host to our American allies once more. All surviving soldiers who were billeted in the town have been invited for street parties, a D-Day parade, a black-tie ball at The Henville and much, much more.

So, come along, get dressed up and join in the fun!

A second chanceor a new romance?

With summer having arrived in Berecombe with sunshiny gusto, and the D-Day anniversary celebrations on the horizon, there's much to keep Ashley Lydden busy as she settles further into her new life by the seaside. So why can't she stop thinking about Eddie McQueen?

They came so close to having it all, but now Ashley isn't sure where they stand. With flirty Cornish painter Jake Tremayne taking a shine to Ashley and asking her to sit for a portrait, things get even more complicated. It's shaping up to be a summer of lovebut which man will claim Ashley's heart?
