Two middle-aged women, one handsome tv star and three hormonal teenagers…all stuck in the middle of a heatwave and with nothing planned. Elizabeth was hoping for a week of idle chatter and cold white wine, not being minder to a hoodie... Diane for an answer to a puzzling and difficult dilemma from her personal agony aunt and not being preached at… Jordan, well, he certainly wasn't planning on spending a week with a woman almost old enough to be his gran. But they've all got to make the best of it. After a few short days, everything and nothing will have changed.
With a bittersweet touch, Jo Verity takes a smorgasbord of characters and throws them together to work out what it is that makes life worth living. Ranging from inner London, to Cardiff and the Gower the journey is full of ups and downs, temptations and terrors: a week can be a flash in the pan or a lifetime, depending on how you look at it.
