Lemon and Lace

By Jenny Worstall

Lemon and Lace is a bittersweet collection of three short stories about love and choice by Jenny Worstall.
The first story, Forever, is a poignant and heartwarming tale showing how love is passed down through the generations of a family.
The second, Waiting, deals with bereavement and learning to love again.
Lemon and Lace, the third in the trio, is altogether lighter in mood and introduces us to a young couple learning to compromise as they face a dilemma about choosing wallpaper.

I'm a writer and musician, and live in London with my family.You will find me playing the piano, singing in a choir or gossiping with my friends (obviously essential research for my writing).I am a proud member of the Romantic Novelists' Association and the Society of Women Writers and Journalists.My books reflect my love of music and a tendency not to take life too seriously.You will find my three novels and shorter pieces of writing on Amazon, with Lemon and Lace here on Smashwords as well.My three novels make up the Sing with the Choir collection. They aren't a series in the way Harry Potter is (the second and third books aren't sequels to the first), but they are grouped together because they all feature choral music and choirs. Oh, and I do believe there is a certain Tristan Proudfoot, a conductor, who pops up in all three books to a varying degree and at different ages.Make a Joyful Noise (Sing with the Choir Book 1)The Funny Business of Life (Sing with the Choir Book 2)Three Hundred Bridesmaids (Sing with the Choir Book 3)In 2019, my novel Love and Lies was published as a People's Friend Pocket Novel (number 883) by D C Thomson. Love And Lies was a contender for the Romantic Novelists' Association Joan Hessayon Award 2019. It is now available on Amazon under its original title of Three Hundred Bridesmaids.I have had a number of short stories published in The People's Friend, Woman's Weekly, My Weekly and Love Sunday magazine.

I felt a sharp needle like pain as I pulled out my first grey hair. Drawing closer to the mirror, I looked anxiously for further signs of decay. Surely those wrinkles around the eyes were deeper? And my neck was definitely showing its age. My mind started to dwell on uncomfortable thoughts of mortality. I pulled out another grey hair, then noticed another and then saw a whole streak of grey.

Nearly finished the hall, darling, called my husband Tom. He stood at the bedroom door grinning at me, wearing filthy paint splattered overalls and carrying a dripping paintbrush.

"Mind what you're doing with that - we don't want paint
