The Family Holiday by Elizabeth Noble
The only gift Charlie wants for his 80th birthday is his family all together again. Ever since his wife Daphne passed away, and the children grew up into their own busy lives, it's felt like they've drifted apart. So he's invited them all on a family holiday, their first in years and, by some miracle, everyone has said yes. Ten days all together in the Cotswolds...how hard can it be?
