NELLY MAKES A BLOOMER

At last I have completed the follow up to my light-hearted novel, ‘Nelly’s Knickers’. Nelly Makes a Bloomer brings back those lively senior citizens. It’s1991 and life continues on its merry way for Nelly, Glad, Maisie, Eric, Rosa and the other members of the social club, presided over by the long-suffering Hermione. Eric has an embarrassing moment with his old grey underpants, a heavy-handed district nurse leaves her patients sore and aggrieved, Glad puts a snooty shop assistant in her place and Tiger is inundated with a year’s supply of Pussy-wussy cat food. Newcomer Beattie lives in her own happy little world, oblivious to any mayhem she might cause and provides an intriguing mystery for the vicar to solve. A short break on the Isle of Wight with a bunch of the Greenwood pensioners will never be plain sailing, especially with mischievous 89-year-old Nelly in tow. Glad and Eric plan their wedding, but can Maisie talk Glad out of a puffy long white gown? Love is in the air for others too, but, as usual, nothing in Greenwood is ever peaceful for long. Especially when Nelly is convinced she has committed a murder!
