Cathy’s new neighbour, Mark, is a permanent invalid and not even remotely easy to
get
on with: he is prickly and difficult. However, both of them share a passion
for Cathy’s
house, Beamsters, an historic house her father has inherited. They discover
the history
of the bee masters who once lived in the house, and Cathy helps Mark
to discover the
freedom of movement by teaching him to ride her pony.
