Read by Susannah Harker
It is Kate’s first day at the Barleybridge Veterinary Practice and one of her most perplexing tasks is to fill the old fire bucket with water ... Her anxieties are soon forgotten as she finds herself flung headlong into the hurly-burly of a busy clinic and loving it. Amongst the patients she meets are Myfanwy -a sheep on a lead, Cherub an elderly cat, and Adolf the Rottweiler who loves a fight with Perkins the Airedale . . . It is then that Kate learns what the bucket of water is for.
The staff are friendly and welcoming, particularly Scott, the Australian vet. But Kate already has a boyfriend, Adam. When she tells him that she wants to finish with him he begins stalking her. Concerned by Adam’s behaviour and at the same time deciding whether or not to try for a place at veterinary college, Kate finds herself more strongly drawn to Scott than she had intended. It is her dedication to the welfare of the animals and her new friendships in the Practice, combined with the support of her father and stepmother that help her to resolve her difficulties.

Read by Andrew Lincoln
Seaflower follows the acclaimed Kydd and Artemis in telling of one man’s journey from pressed man to Admiral in the Great Age of Sail.
It is two years since Thomas Paine Kydd was spirited away to serve his country aboard the old line-of-battle ship Duke William. Now, together with members of the ill-fated Artemis, Tom is a shipwrecked sailor back in the land of his birth. But they find themselves prisoners, waiting to be summoned as court martial witnesses. In a political act to shield an officer’s reputation, they are shipped out to the Caribbean – where sugar is king and yellow jack a fearsome peril ...
Andrew Lincoln trained at RADA and his numerous television credits include The Woman in White, A Likeness in Stone, Teachers and the role of ‘Egg’ in the cult BBC series This Life. He has acted in several radio productions and his film credits range from Gangster No.1 to Human Traffic.
