It's a year after their wedding. Brandon and Marianne feel like a little time on their own and take a little trip. /Thank you DrEvil818 for the idea - my S&S well was running dry... Cheers! G. Oh, and apologies ahead, I've just typed this out, no proper checks have been made for typing or lg./

Present day setting of getting Brandon and Marianne together. Thanks for the premise and help with the plot go to DrEvil818. :) Also need to mention the inspiration from Joanna Trollope's fab contemporary take on the novel (part of a series of modernised Austen novels by established authors).
