In the Village of Pepperstock Green – Chapter (100) – Sally Forth

 August

 

Sally Nixon had lived her entire married life in the village of Pepperstock Green, in the same house in fact, and had been very happy there, even the eighteen months since her husband’s untimely death had not been without happiness.

Having her son Henry living with her had definitely contributed to that and having his brother George, wife and granddaughters nearby also helped.

However she felt things needed to change, Henry was now in a committed relationship with Holly Mayston and spent as many nights with her as he did at home, so it was only a matter of time before he moved out altogether.

Pipershaven was Pepperstock Greens largest neighbour, which was where Sally Nixon was driving to on a hot sunny August afternoon.

 

She lived in a house, on the west side of the village right on the edge of the countryside, in a large, detached house and had lived there her whole married life and although it was too big for her, she could never imagine living anywhere else.

Sally had come close to losing the house after her husband died and she and Henry had to work hard to keep a roof over their heads.

But now the mortgage was paid off and all the sacrifices made over the years had paid off.

She had a good job at St Adelaide’s Retreat, a loving family and a large circle of friends, the only thing lacking in her life was a romantic attachment as she hadn’t found a significant other in her life since her husband passed.

When she arrived at the Tennis club she parked up, and when she got out, she was wearing white Tennis shoes, white ankle socks with yellow trim and a pale-yellow tennis dress, mid-thigh length, to show off her lovely long tanned legs, which she was very proud of.

On her head she wore a peaked cap, and her hair was tied in a ponytail, Theresa had the same colouring as her mother had, pale ginger hair, fair delicate skin, and stunning blue eyes, her hair was going a little salt and peppery, which she could have dyed, but she rather liked it.

 

She smiled when she saw her Tennis partner walking towards her, because her Sons and daughter-in-law had been talking about wanting to find someone for her, but they didn’t know that she already had her sights set on the new Counselor up at the retreat, who was her partner that afternoon, but she hoped that it was just the beginning.
