'' - Bestselling author Alan Titchmarsh She was wearing red shoes With silver heels Elisabeth Devine causes quite a stir on her arrival in the village.

And that''s not even counting the challenges the mysterious Elisabeth herself will face: a bitter former head teacher a grumpy caretaker and a duplicitous chair of governors to name but a few.
