Synopsis
Disgraced private school teacher Giles Rathbourne has been sent home on extended sick-leave and is stuck in a rut of obsessive housework and drinking. His ex may have been a snobbish bastard, but without him, Giles is adrift, rattling around his huge, lonely house. When a dreadlocked narrowboater’s engine breaks down at the end of his canal-side garden, Giles is furious at this invasion of his privacy—for a while.
Disgraced private school teacher Giles Rathbourne has been sent home on extended sick-leave and is stuck in a rut of obsessive housework and drinking. His ex may have been a snobbish bastard, but without him, Giles is adrift, rattling around his huge, lonely house. When a dreadlocked narrowboater’s engine breaks down at the end of his canal-side garden, Giles is furious at this invasion of his privacy—for a while.
Smutty might not have ever held down a proper job, but the
fire-dancing, free-spirited traveller can recognise an opportunity for mutual
benefit when he sees it. Giles’ extensive gardens are in as desperate need of
attention as the upper-class hunk is himself, whereas Smutty knows a thing or
two about plants and needs a place to moor up.
A simple business arrangement between two men who have nothing
else in common? It would be—if they could keep their hands off each other!
