Performing Pippin Pearmain 3 - Performing Pippin Pearmain, #3

Pippin Pearmain has a screen test-the first in several years. Before flying to Sydney to meet her new agent, the director, and the rest of the cast of Half-Life of the Lost, she cashes in the mystery holiday voucher that was a gift from her recently deceased Cousin Lupin. Sailing on the yacht Tulpenmanie was fun.until one of the crewmen went missing. That was bad, but now he's turned up and jumped into the sea with Pip in his arms.   Well.she did agree to meet his family!  Skinny dipping under a waterfall, swimming into a cave, dancing on the chalk and meeting an extended family takes Pip's mind off the impending return to film work, but even holidays in fairyland have to end.
Pip knows she needs to be back at Lemonwood Cottage in time to take her agent's call. She has to organise a sitter for the cats who seemed curiously willing to let her go and leave them with a stranger. Pippin Pearmain has led an interesting life, but it had been winding down. Now, at the age of sixty-six, that life has gone utterly nuts. She wouldn't change that for the world.
