The Light House Keepers

Imagine a house that is alive; a Light House radiating Light to all that seek sanctuary within its wisteria-covered walls. All kinds of creatures find shelter there, handsome pilots that died during the Battle of Britain, Siamese cats with impossible names, dogs who lie by the Aga to keep warm, mediaeval Knights in white tabards and 21st Century warriors killed during the Gulf war. The living seek comfort as well as the dead, wounded heroes, bomb disposal men like Captain Lucian Nairne who returns from Afghanistan to the Scottish Borders to sleep, to dream, and to write letters to a beautiful green-eyed stranger. An Angel guards Six Chimneys, a Light-Keeper defending the Gateway to Heaven. Daisy Banks didn’t know such a place existed. She does now.
