Blue Skies and Blackberry Pie

Blue Skies and Blackberry Pie Synopsis

Welcome to Berecombe-by-the-Sea for a year of very special celebrations…

This year sees the seventy-fifth anniversary of D-Day. We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to those brave boys who went to fight on French beaches for our freedom.

And now Berecombe is playing host to our American allies once more. All surviving soldiers who were billeted in the town have been invited for street parties, a D-Day parade, a black-tie ball at The Henville and much, much more.

So, come along, get dressed up and join in the fun!

Berecombe's year of commemoration may be coming to a close… but the rest of Ashley Lydden's new life has only just begun!

Ashley couldn't have predicted that she'd find herself a whole new - much happier - life in the quiet, seaside town of Berecombe, but now she can't imagine being anywhere else.

She knows better than most though that life has a way of surprising you when you least expect it, so when things start going all kinds of wrong for Ashley and her handsome American, Eddie McQueen, she's forced to lean on her new friends for support. Thankfully, the residents of Berecombe learned decades ago that there's no problem that can't be fixed with a little bit of bunting and a whole lot of love…
