Eligible Bachelor Bungalows for Shy and Bold Alike
I went on a deep dive recently to find the perfect bachelor pad for my fictional bachelors in two of my manuscripts. I wanted realistic bungalows for them and felt that these three suited their stories.

Bungalow 1
Bungalow 2
Of my two manuscripts, one has a shy, isolated yet genuine bachelor, Nel in Forest of Sun and Shadows.
The other, from Love & Laughter (And other disasters), has a bold, charming mid-life bachelor, Louis.
Bungalow 3
Both are perfect gentleman with only honourable intent regarding their lady friends, but will they be lucky in love? You’ll have to find out when both books release in early 2025.
I would love your input regarding suitable bungalows for both bachelors, from the choices above.

News from my holiday in England:
I had a fantastic time climbing Glastonbury Tor in whipping wind, exploring the delights of Wells Cathedral, walking amongst wildflowers on the moors and headlands of the South Coast Path.
Quaint villages, literary places of interest, unique beaches and the South Devon Chili Farm all added up to a memorable holiday.
But more than that, I felt like I had finally arrived; in life, in London, in love. This was more than just a holiday, it formed the bones of a fairytale life come true and I can’t wait to write it up in a new book.
It’ll be a spin-off (as opposed to a sequel), of my memoir En Route, both of which, outline mid-life love and how to make a success of it.
I left complimentary copies of my memoir dotted around Southwest England because so much of it speaks of my deep connection with my past, and my ancestors, from the area. Their stories of resilience, love and longevity inspire me.
If you’re in England, specifically Dunster in Somerset and Torquay in Devon, visit the guest library shelves and you might find yourself a signed copy of En Route.
Millstream Cottage B&B, Dunster, Somerset UK
The Grand Hotel, Torquay, Devon, UK
