Thanks to everyone for reading.

I'm going to be away for a week and am told that internet connection is troublesome. I'm submitting a chapter today and will aim to do the same every week until the story has completely unfolded.

Chapter 11: Solicitor

Before I head back to Brexit, I wanted to point out a couple of things during the chapter and ask a few questions:-

1. Is this actually a cliffhanger, as so many of you have stated? For starters, would Grant in Melbourne have even been shown the Fresher will? Unlikely. Flynn & Fox would have no idea about its existence (why would they?) and the UK end would be under no obligation to disclose this. Ms Cawthorn was simply giving Nathan a piece of advice (and there'll probably be an invoice on his doormat later in the week);
2. Secondly (in the letter: ...I’m leaving most of my wealth to my son), why would Grant want a little bakery in cute but claustrophobic Crumbington, even if it turns out to be his by birthright, when it sound as though he's got more than enough money, and is already living in paradise (well, Melbourne)? I'm not saying he definitely wouldn't, I'm just saying there would have to be some serious motivation to want him to pursue something like that 😉...

I'll try to post another chapter next Tuesday before I leave for "non EU", "United (for now) Kingdom", soon to be the "51st US State".

💒 Sorry for the slowdown in posting, but just had a whirlwind weekend in the land of Brexit to get the official marriage paperwork out of the way. I am now officially hitched (have the certificate to prove it) although the main ceremony isn't until late September.

For Naked Calendar, I'd hoped to tie everything up by now for the weekend away at Martin and Gallagher's house, but then a few ideas for plot points came to me, so I'm creating a brand new chapter to flesh them out.

More to come soon.
