Synopsis:

Eighteen short breaks around the UK for sports widows to enjoy - either travelling alone or with a friend. Each trip averages two nights away, often staying in unusual places like an avant-garde aparthotel in a sustainable village near Cambridge, and in the grounds of a Benedictine Abbey in Herefordshire. Every journey is special in that readers are directed to places not always mentioned elsewhere. Examples include a village evacuated in 1943, a perfectly imperfect interiors store near Ross-on-Wye, and a stunningly beautiful old cloth hall that was saved from demolition by just one vote. Each chapter has a recommended book linked to the destination, and a colour illustration drawn by a local and/or a well-known illustrator.

About the Author: Sally McIlroy lives and works in Surrey. She has her own business running courses in interior design, but also travels and reads. This is her first published book and it brings together several elements: a visual eye, a love of the UK, and a desire to be different. Sally's degree in Geography explains the map-like illustrations and her design qualification brings colour and style, along with a sense of humour in the interesting asides. Unlike some other 'golf widow' portrayals this book has a sincerity and kindness to it.
