When Peggy and Ken come to the South Coast town of Warfleet they imagine they will exhibit their prize winning pigeon at a convention in the Winter Gardens, then head off to nearby Canterbury to celebrate their 35th Wedding anniversary, with a few days off and a visit to the Chaucer experience. But life takes a different turn when Peggy, out for a walk in the town, sees a flyer for Rumer, the psychic healer, and goes for a tarot reading above the Delphinium Tea Rooms. So begins a chain of events that means Peggy's life will never be the same again.
