‘The Thyme Bank’ is a poignant love story set in
the nineteen-eighties. Frances, a young artist, and Simon, an older university
lecturer, meet in bizarre circumstances and there is instant mutual attraction.
Weeks later, due to Simon’s determination, they meet again and are soon
married. Can their very different personalities and interests keep them united?
Fran is a countryside lover while Simon is a townsman who sees Fran’s beloved
Exmoor as just a holiday retreat, not the place where they should live all the
time. Living apart for a few days each week causes problems, but the arrival of
a son strengthens their relationship until Simon’s needs become apparent to
Fran and, possibly, to others. Complicating their relationship further are
Simon’s recuring health problems about which he is in strong denial. Although
he is highly regarded in his place at Exeter University, he decides to have a
fresh start and become a journalist, based in London. This is hard on Fran but
she hopes the more relaxing job will improve Simon’s health but, sadly, it has
no effect. What can be the cause of Simon’s health problems? Can it be that
events of his past life are catching up?
Pauline Morphy is the author of two children’s pony books, ‘Exiles from the Moor’ and ‘Peter finds a Pony Pal’, both earning money for vital charities. She has an MA in Creative and Critical Writing and has frequently been involved in Mere Literary Festival.
