CHAPTER FIVE

‘YOU’VE BEEN BUSY.’ Caitlin’s mother looked at the basket of fruit Caitlin had brought for her. ‘That’s not all come from home, has it?’

‘It has, actually.’ Caitlin was proud of the amount of fruit she’d managed to harvest. It was mostly being sold at the local market but she’d gathered together an assortment for the gift basket. There were early fruiting James Grieve apples, a few pears, pink-skinned Victoria plums and some of the later varieties of strawberries. ‘I thought it might help to cheer you up.’

It had also given her something to do, had helped keep her occupied outside of work. It gave her less time to dwell on situations that were fast running out of her control. Brodie had given her a lot to think about with his revelations about his father. His background meant that he probably still had a lot of self-doubt and she wondered if he would ever be able to make a proper commitment to her. She was falling for him all over again but for her own self-preservation she knew she should guard against losing her heart to him.

‘Bless you, it’s wonderful; a real treat.’ Her mother smiled. ‘Oh, it makes me long to be back home. I can’t wait to get back there and see how everything’s going on.’

‘I’m sure it won’t be too long now,’ Caitlin agreed, trying to give her some encouragement. ‘You’re certainly looking a bit brighter. There’s colour in your cheeks and you seem to be breathing a little easier.’

‘I am. I’m managing to get a bit further with the walking frame now before the lack of breath stops me.’

‘That’s good to know.’ Caitlin smiled. ‘And there’s a bit of news I thought you’d want to know about—David has asked if the film unit can use the smallholding as one of their sets for an episode of Murder Mysteries. He said they would pay well, so I said I’d ask you. I didn’t really think you’d have any objection. They promise they won’t leave a mess, and the filming will all be done over two or three days. I think they especially want to use the barn and the area around the hen hut.’

‘Oh, how exciting! Yes, of course that’s okay. It’ll be so interesting to see our home on the television, won’t it? I wonder what they’ll make of it? Oh, I can’t wait!’

Caitlin chuckled. ‘I thought you’d be all right with it. David’s asked if we’ll be extras and take part in the filming—Brodie and me—along with some of the villagers. Brodie’s a bit wary but apparently the villagers are all really keen to get in on the act.’

‘I’ll bet they are...’ Her mother started to cough, overcome with anticipation, and Caitlin frowned. She was looking better and it was all too easy to forget how ill her mother had been.

‘Don’t try to talk,’ she said now. ‘Just rest. I’ll fill you in on what’s been going on.’

‘Yes...’ Interested to know what was going on, her mother ignored her suggestion not to speak.
