Older woman, younger man, could it possibly work? Sue was madly in love with Steve Stone, singer of blues rock, but she held back while holding on. Her sense of wit and humour is one of the leading attractions of this zany comedy romance, set in wicked Watford, England, and the languorous Languedoc, France, where Sue bought a garden and met the local ex-pats - Silly Willy, and Benny the Bikes. Meanwhile Steve the keeper of Secrets had problems of his own, being sexually harassed by a drinker of Campari and soda, addicted to flashing her stocking-tops at the member's of Steve's band, and by a day-time job for a company that went in for bomb-making. Another leading character is the leonine Shirley, bra-tester and seducer of plumbers who thought rosé was a blusher, and Tattoos the village mayor, who made Steve jealous. Steve tracked Sue using Internet and arrived at the garden, playing Georgia on my Mind, but all Sue's family was there so where could they go to reunite that spark? The Vineyards? The beach? "I don't want to get sand on my willy," said Steve. And so the romp continues and you will laugh a lot and cry sometimes, while the boats float past on the Canal du Midi down to the Mediterranean Sea.
