But My Thoughts<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n This is a welcome return to Yorkshire and it was great to catch up with so many familiar characters. Their lives have moved on but you can still glimpse what has been happening in the meantime. Poppy turns out to be a delightful central character who has some complicated feelings about her childhood. Afraid of the time when she is left alone without family, she has been determined to care for both her parents for as long as she could. Her father is in the later stages of Alzheimer’s and she is struggling with the knowledge that he no longer knows who she is. It was so touching when she had to call him Stanley, rather than Dad and visit him as if she was just another visitor to his home.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Joel is ready for a new relationship but he has issues with his ex-partner over access to his beloved daughter. After his parents have left the country to live in Portugal, he has been forced to step into\u00a0 their shoes with his difficult younger brother. Both Poppy and Joel are dissatisfied with their jobs and ready for a change, First, they have to make the courageous first step.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Family and friendship are centre stage as ever, in this series. The setting is beautiful and provides so many opportunities for Poppy. Both Poppy and Joel need to look for the positives in life and to disregard any negativity they have found in the past. It is all about moving forward with hope.<\/span><\/p>\n In short: new beginnings and new love About the Author<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jessica Redland<\/b> writes emotional but uplifting stories of \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You can follow Jessica here: Twitter<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 | \u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 | \u00a0 Website\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span> \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Don’t forget to take a look at these great bloggers!<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
