At 64 Meg Foster is ready to paint outside the lines. Newly divorced from overbearing husband Malcom and with only reruns of Bergerac and an irascible black cat called Ivan for company Meg decides it’s time to add a little colour back into her life. So when she spots a flyer for a local art class at the Lower Begley community centre she grabs a brush - despite her only painting experience being a half-hearted coat of magnolia in the downstairs loo. Surrounded by a motley crew of charming amateur artists Meg slowly begins to rediscover her spark with the help of the other old girls…and the only male in the group Derek. And when someone suggests a painting holiday to sunsoaked Santorini Meg doesn’t hesitate to sign up. Whitewashed walls turquoise seas and possibly even a Grecian god or two? Yes please! As the sun sets over the Aegean Meg starts to realise that life — like art - is all about perspective. Could this trip be more than just a wash of watercolour fun? Could friendship freedom and a second-chance romance be just a sketch away?
