Im sorry but I am a big massive fn of Heidi work , especially when we get to visit the village of Wynbridge.
In this wonderful tale we meet Hattie , who has been told that she is to lose her job. that she has lived and breathed and given her best years too. This is a massive shock so when her old friend Dolly comes and meets for a catch up after work it all comes out and Dolly takes her under her wing, but before Hattie has time to process the information. Johnathan her over protective controlling boyfriend throws her a curve ball and asking her to move to another country and make a new life there with him. Hattie head is all over the place, so Dolly offers her a life line spending one more Christmas before she flies off too her new life. Johnathan allows this but out of ear shot tells Hattie that he would like her to cut her visit short and come back early before they leave.
On arriving at the train station , Hattie is meet by a very friendly taxi driver that Dolly arranged to meet her. Beamish who also plays ruby for the Village knows all about her stay !
On arrival Hattie finds her room the same way she left it like nothing had changed, Hattie feels safe and sleeps for the first time in months as she has been running on empty. Woken from her deep sleep to tapping at the window to fin d Beamish putting Christmas lights up on Dolly house. Hde seems to be the man of many trades and he seems to be everywhere. On her first full day she even bumps into Mrs Christmas herself Catherine from Wynbridge Hall and now knows thats she not into the Christmas spirit and it will be her mission and Dolly's to get her to fall in love with Christmas again.
on the same day she bumps into Rose from the village schools and offers her old volunteer position at school running up to Christmas.

The days start rolling away and Hattie and Dolly are trying to cross off as much as possible before Christmas , Dolly has her own reasons for doing this and is hiding a big secret from Hattie but you will have to buy the book to find that out. Over time Beamish becomes a close friend but Hattie doesn't go out of her way to tell him that she is with Johnathan but fate or Johnathan has other plans and pays her a visit asking her to come back with him and spend Christmas with him but she has already made plans and she wants to she them through and she finds out that he is involved in her a stranger relationship with her parents .
