Continuing saga. You really do need to read A New Life and A New Life Two before you read this one. Oh yes, and it isn't like any of my recent efforts.

Apologies, I said I'd changed the name but not what to - it is now The Melcombe Arms

I said that this story was in my file and had been started years ago. There's been a lot of attention, much wanting it expanded and perhaps a series. I'm thinking about that. Problem occured because there is a pub of that name and I know it's a long shot but someone might object so I've changed the name. Just in case. Sorry, something I should have checked.

I lived in a village where the pub having problems and I suggested the solution in this story as a way to make it financially viable. The the pub in the next village suffered exactly as outlined and I started to write this. That was about six or seven years ago. Since the weather here is so bad at the moment I was looking for something to do and finishing this seemed like a good idea. It isn't very long but then there isn't much plot. Enjoy

I had some comments from readers so I have made a couple of changes:
Firstly, pointed out to me by several readers, there was a sentence which described the contents of a picnic as it was done in 'Wind in the Willows' without spacing. It worked for Kenneth Graham, but it didn't work for me!
I have also corrected misinformation regarding the engines in PT boats. Not essential to the story, but it was wrong. Thanks to zzatz for that
