Everyone deserves a Christmas treat...
The annual Wheaton gingerbread exhibit (a model town made of gingerbread) and grotto has been an important part of the sleepy Cotswold hamlet-s Christmas celebrations for decades.
For years the gingerbread exhibition drew visitors from across the region and each year the model town grew more elaborate and ambitious but recently, interest has been dwindling. The gingerbread grotto needs to be rehomed or close forever.
Sixty-four-year-old Margi, the event-s founder, has had enough of village life (and its total lack of eligible men) and is planning to sell up and head to Birmingham to live closer to her niece.
She has lost her spark and her Christmas spirit and decides this will be her last gingerbread village, but despairs when she finds her only support is her old friend, Izzy, her niece Lucy from Birmingham, and Fern, the shy young farmer-s daughter. Oh, and Patrick, the gorgeous, reliable school caretaker.
As if
