🌸 Is it ever too late to bloom? 🌸
Meet Celia. Life hasn’t worked out quite how she’d planned.
Since her son left for university, Celia has felt stuck at home – battling with her husband Geoff over control of the thermostat, and without the merest glint of a social life. Her only joy comes from the plants she nurtures in her makeshift plant hospital in their Glasgow flat.
Then three unexpected things happen:
- She catches Geoff in bed with a secretary from his sausage factory (no pun intended).
- Her high-flying best friend Amanda arrives on her doorstep without warning (but with a very large suitcase).
- A tall handsome French teacher asks her to tend his daughter’s cactus back to health.

Suddenly, Celia finds her life in freefall, but she makes a decision: she won’t let this be the end of her. She’ll bring herself back to life, just like the plants she works her magic on. But just how do you change the habits of a lifetime?

Celia’s life in Glasgow is quiet and predictable—until she discovers her husband Geoff in bed with his secretary. Suddenly single and unsure of her future, Celia is forced out of her routine and into a journey of rediscovery. With the unexpected arrival of her glamorous best friend Amanda, and a chance meeting with a charming French teacher (thanks to a cactus emergency), her world begins to open up again.
This heartwarming and humorous story follows Celia as she slowly rebuilds her confidence, embraces new experiences, and learns to find joy, friendship, and even love in unexpected places. It’s a relatable, midlife coming-of-age tale about letting go of the past, stepping out of autopilot, and learning that it’s never too late to start again.
