A Parallel Life

When John and Gloria Seeton from Workington divorced, it marked the beginning of a vibrant new chapter in both their lives. Their paths forward were uncharted and their destinies unpredictable – though not everyone would agree. Gloria, with her keen interest in men, found herself drawn to two prominent figures: Commander RN (Rtd) Rupert Isherwood, whom she met while he was deputy managing director of Isherwood & Son, Photo-Etching Specialists on Roa Island, and Fergus Morris, a local photographer with a free spirit and a hand in some questionable publications. John, on the other hand, underwent a transformation after this marital split, leading to a series of new female encounters. His search for a new place to live introduced him to Sheila, while his search for a solicitor brought him into contact with Penny. Which of these women he would ultimately choose as a partner was a question only time – and his exs willingness to let go – could answer.
