When she leaves London
for the pretty Hampshire village that she describes as 'my geriatric
bolt-hole', Elfrida Phipps quickly feels at home. She has a tiny cottage, her
faithful dog Horace and the friendship of the neighbouring Blundells -
particularly Oscar - to ensure that her days include companionship as well as
independence.
But an unforeseen tragedy upsets Elfrida's tranquillity. She takes refuge in a rambling house in Scotland, which becomes a magnet for various waifs and strays. It sounds a recipe for disaster. But somehow the group becomes greater than the sum of its ill-assorted parts and Elfrida finds herself at the centre of a very magical Christmas.
