Della Galton comes to the blog with a lovely story of friendship, growth and chasing dreams even as they evolve with
Moonlight Over Studland Bay
Samantha Jones is working as a typist for an engineering firm while trying to get her own ‘passion project’ off the ground. Living on the coast, she’s lucked into a lovely cottage on the shore, has several ‘regular’ clients for Purbeck Pooches, and a sold friendship with her childhood best friend, Abby. Now that Abby is again single, but with a lovely little baby, Sam’s own clock has started ticking, even as she’s not really found “the one” since her last relationship fell apart.
But with her work and juggling a business that doesn’t seem to be growing like she’d like, and a wine-fueled night where she signed onto a dating site – she’s checking out the options. And all of them are coming up blanks. With the exception of a new potential friendship and option for her business. Add in her parents’ decision to sell up their own business and possibly emigrate, Sam’s feeling decidedly left behind and out of sorts.
Enter several interesting moments with her boss and the owner of the engineering firm, Rex, and discovering that he’s also got a ‘passion’ for something she never thought of – and the story starts to take shape. With missteps and miscommunications, lovely moments of friendship, family and new starts, and a chance to take the plunge and dive into her own passions, Sam has a ton of growth, self-discovery and plenty of opportunity for a new start. A lovely story full of hope, laughter, second chances and dreams.
