Travel Guide
Woodby (fictional)
Cathy herself lives in Lambley and this could be the inspiration for the village of Woodby as it does have a similar feel in some ways! She got the idea after attending the funeral of a family member several years ago and has said:
“When you go to funerals it really makes you examine your own mortality and priorities. I got that idea from the general conversation – what if someone really goes for it and takes that carpe diem message to heart?”
Living in Woodby
“The thin light was fading from the afternoon and the little village of Woodby in trural Nottinghamshire was descending into gloom”
“Popping to the shops used to mean vintage boutiques and the city centre, not the farmshop and Tesco. Village life wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.”
