Christmas and Midsomer Murders, two of my favorite things!

I know other people have said it before. But Joyce Barnaby is living a good life.

She’s got a loving husband and daughter. She’s got a lovely home and she gets to try a range of hobbies whenever she feels like it. And she’s mostly unbothered by discovering bodies. She even occasionally helps Tom solve the cases.

It’s just that her cookings not the best, and Tom has to keep rushing out to solve or for new cases.

Sartorially [Cully] seemed to have quietened down a bit whilst still looking definitely pantomimic. She wore a man's tailored three-piece suit in grey and white chalk stripes dating from the early fifties, and her hair, the colour of sloe gin, was cut in an Eton crop. There was a monocle pinned to her lapel. She looked aggressive, sexy, and, because of her youth, rather touching.

The Meddlesome Mrs Barnaby

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a happily married woman desires nothing more than to usher her single friends into the same state of life. 

Sarah was no exception to this sentiment, having exercised her wiles (with indifferent success, it must be confessed) in turn on Ben, Kate, and Charlie previously. But she was nothing if not tenacious, and had no intention whatsoever of giving up on Jamie and Kam.

“Ah, Winter! You’re here bright and early today. Not a callout, I hope?”

“No Sir. I managed to avoid the school traffic today, that’s all.”

“So you mean you finally listened to Kam’s advice to leave 5 minutes earlier, Jamie?”

Sarah watched the young man flush right up to his curls with a wicked sense of amusement. Really, whom was he kidding? Of course, Kam was back from her course today, hence his keenness to get into work early.

Jamie’d been just a touch “off” throughout that botched evening at the Gorgeous Georgians party, mused Sarah, unable to work with Petra the way he normally would with Kam. And at the same time, watching the younger ladies in their period finery with a look of longing that was perfectly clear to her, at least. She was certain John had noticed too, though whether he’d realised was, of course, anybody’s guess. 

Waving John and Jamie off to work a few minutes later, Sarah settled back at the table to finish her interrupted breakfast, giving thanks that Finals week meant she could get to the school an hour later than usual and avoid the usual traffic. On cue, Betty demanded her favourite show on TV, something Sarah agreed to with a sigh, the terrible-twos having turned into the terrible-threes and showing no signs of tapering off.

Checking her watch to confirm she still had another 10 minutes, Sarah returned her attention to the Causton Echo, flipping through upcoming local events in the hopes of finding something to celebrate the end of another (rough) term. After all, her mother was taking Betty for the weekend and a couple of days after, giving her and John a rare opportunity for a romantic getaway.

With a grin, she circled the quarter-page advert near the back and mentally pencilled in a tentative plan. Now to talk John into it!

Midsomer Murders, season 2 - Dead Man's Eleven

I want to read a story about Gavin Troy, Ben Jones, and Cully Barnaby crossing paths as teenagers. Not necessarily being close friends, but they all attended Causton Comprehensive and are in the same general age range, so it wouldn't be surprising if they'd had classes together or had mutual friends.

Anyone know if a story like that already exists? Or is anyone inspired to write one?

Cully should have ended up with Jones, Simon sucks.
