    Jack Pilton continues to spank the ladies in the village of Little Trumpington, but he has fallen for Mary. A new group member, Jenny, the vicar's wife, suggests that they organise a stall at the village fete and offer spankings to any adult at a pound a smack, two pounds if it is on their knickers. There would be no bare-bottom spankings at the fete, or so they thought. Jack needs to find someone to help with the spankings so he asks Terry’s mother, Mrs Grant, who turns out to be an excellent spanker. Finally, Jack proposes to Mary after the fete and she accepts.

    This collection of short fiction aims to define the sometimes indefinable and to give voice to those struggling to make sense of what life throws at them. There are those who travel in a continuous loop on London's underground and those who dance at night with the departed. A woman confronts herself in a bedroom mirror after decades of denial and a widow finds comfort in an osteopath's consulting room. And then there is a strange creature who falls to earth; dreams and portents; crows and folklore, and much more.
The stories are tragic and comi-tragic, but all reveal the strength and complexity of the human spirit. They bring poignant insights on grief, loss and longing and the depths and strangeness of the human psyche and how we manage to survive and just about cope.
