The Cornish Cream Tea Bus by Cressida McLaughlinMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Spend the summer in an idyllic Cornish cove feasting on delectable cakes.
Charlie is a baker, when her beloved Uncle Hal leaves her Gertie, his vintage 1960s Routemaster bus in his will he gets a madcap idea to convert the bus into a mobile tea room and tour local shows and fetes advertising the bakery where she works in Ross-on-Wye. But after her first outing was less than spectacular Charlie's boss and friends persuade her to take a few weeks holiday with her best friend Juliette in the seaside village of Porthgolow.
Undeterred by her initial lack of success Charlie is determined to spend her holidays getting Gertie refurbished and starting up a business selling cream teas on the beach, however the owner of the luxury hotel and spa on the hill is less than pleased to see a tatty old bus in the local municipal car park.
Porthgolow might have a fabulous beach and amazing sunsets but the village itself is a little drab and unloved, there aren't many tourists and local businesses are flagging but Charlie loves it anyway and wants to help revive the village's fortunes.
There's cute kids, cute dogs, gorgeous food and a smidge of romance, perfect summer reading.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
