Muddy Lane

Anthony is running away from the mess he has made of his life... again... But this time he is determined to do things differently. And instead of moving to another old industrial midland city, he chooses a remote cottage down a muddy lane right out in the middle of nowhere, not far from the North Lincolnshire Coast, where he has found the perfect job, working on a coastal nature reserve.

Unfortunately his inability to say no, whether in his personal or his professional life is soon leading to his usual tangle of complications. And it doesn't take long for a whole array of different lovers and ex-lovers to take up permanent, semi-permanent or occasional residence at Anthony's cottage.

When one of these unexpected additions to the household then attracts his own unexpected selection of family and ex-partners to join him in the cottage, in desperation, Anthony phones the ex-partner who he split up with before his escape to the bleak country, Steve. And Steve is very resourceful and loves a messy challenge...
