Extraordinary and ordinary people who love to walk the Lochside Trail.
A small book of rather long short stories, five in number. A quick read, a nice break.
Excerpt
Lochside Stories follow a disparate group of individuals as they encounter a variety of life’s circumstances in their small community of Sidney-by the-Sea. Every character has the Lochside Trail as a common denominator. Flan and Crete walk the Trail almost daily as does Willow Woman and Josh; Crash and Karen live on the beach by the Trail while Big Basso and Furtive Frank are caught up in conspiracy theories fostered by Door Man’s mysterious doings. Angus Moody’s heart stops on the Lochside Trail while Gertrude Smite looks along the trail for love after her husband leaves her for a horse.
The Lochside Stories charm and delight with situations, dilemmas, humour and predicaments played out by a colourful cast of characters inhabiting the ocean-side community of Sidney-by the-Sea.
