Since Rachel was given an ornamental well for the garden at Well Cottage, all the food and drink bought locally has tasted awful. Is the shopkeeper selling contaminated goods, or is there another explanation? This 2800 word short story is also published in one of Patsy's many themed collections of short stories, each of which contains 24 stories. Patsy Collins spends her time making things up and writing them down from her home in Lee-on-the-Solent or whilst traveling in a campervan – both shared with her husband. When away she enjoys scrambling round ruined castles, visiting friends and eating cake. At home she gardens, bakes (and then eats) cakes.She is the author of several stand alone novels, the Little Mallow cosy crime series and twenty-four themed collections of short stories. Hundreds of her short stories have been published in women's magazines.
