For a while now, Moira has had the feeling there's not much point in doing anything. Not even the thought of meeting her best friend Rosie lifts her spirits. How could that be? They'd known each other since they were kids, and contact with Rosie had always brought a smile to her face. It wasn't that they'd fallen out, just that lately their 'Monday Moan' was living up to that name rather too well. Rosie admits she feels the same way.A competition, with the prize of a wonderful spring break, to see tulips in Holland, helps them break the depressing monotony – even though they almost certainly won't win. Patsy Collins spends her time making things up and writing them down from her home in Lee-on-the-Solent or whilst traveling in a campervan – both shared with her husband. When away she enjoys scrambling round ruined castles, visiting friends and eating cake. At home she gardens, bakes (and then eats) cakes.She is the author of several stand alone novels, the Little Mallow cosy crime series and twenty-four themed collections of short stories. Hundreds of her short stories have been published in women's magazines.
