"Another pint please Jenny." The request came from Steve McDonald, a former landlord of the Rovers Return.
Jenny Conner was now running the pub, with her husband Johnny.
Jenny smiled at Steve and after handing him a pint of Newton and Ridley's finest ale, said, " that will be £3.10 please."
Steve reluctantly paid her and mumbled, "when I was a lad, you could get blind drunk on a pound, those were the days."
Jenny chose to ignore him. Just then the telephone rang. "Rovers Return. Jenny Conner speaking, can I help?"
"Hi Jenny, it's Vic Thomas from Summerday Wines." The voice on the other end wasn't familiar to Jenny's northern ears, it had a definite London accent and was quite loud.
Jenny replied, "oh hi, but our wine rep is Mark, have you taken over?"
"No, no, Mark is still in place, I am on the marketing team and I have a proposal for you that I am sure you will love."
Jenny thought to herself, *here we go, trying to increase either sales or prices.*
"Go on," said Jenny.
The southern voice continued, "we are launching a new range of wines from New Zealand and are asking our customers to be a sort of focus group to give us their thoughts and impressions."
Before Jenny could speak, he continued, "we are planning to invite 12 to 15 of our landlady's to a nice hotel in Cheshire, all expenses paid, a goodly supply of really good wine and overnight accommodation, and you, Mrs Jenny Conner are one of those selected."
Jenny was taken aback, "no catches, no hidden costs, this is all kosher?"
"All above board, are you in Jenny?" He asked.
Jenny replied, "a night in a Cheshire hotel, with free wine and a new outfit to boot, yes I am in. "When is it?"
"We haven't finalised dates or venue yet, but you are definitely on the list, we will be in contact as soon as we have more details."
"Thanks, bye." Said Jenny.
Her husband Johnny came into the bar and asked, "who was that?"
She replied, "The wine suppliers, they want me to be a sort of guinea pig, posh hotel, overnight stay, oh and a new outfit, you're paying for that bit."
Meanwhile over at the other side of the Pennines, Chas Dingle was changing her baby daughter Eve, when the phone rang.
"Good afternoon, The Woolpack, Emmerdale, can I help?" Said Chas.
It was Vic Thomas from Summerday Wines. He gave the same spiel to Chas, who was equally up for the proposal.
A few weeks later, the 12 selected landlady's were arriving at the five star hotel in leafy Cheshire.
After registering, Jenny and Chas and the others were allocated rooms. These were all suites with all the luxuries you would expect.
"It is fabulous, what a room." Said Chas on the phone to her partner, Paddy.
She continued, "we have a spa session this afternoon, then into the serious business of drinking quality free wine, it's a hard life."
Later Jenny phoned Johnny, informing him, "wow, what a place, we have massage and spa treatments this afternoon, just the thought makes me feel really sexy, pity you're not here."
Her husband, rather grumpily replied, "typical, but enjoy and nothing naughty."
"You're safe there, it's all females, love you, bye." Said Jenny, ending the call.
The mention of all female and naughty, brought memories of her only lesbian experience, with the young barmaid, Emma. Enjoyable as that had been, they hadn't repeated the act and not even mentioned it, when alone in the bar.
The first of the wine samples were taken with lunch. Chas was sat next to Jenny and they chatted about the ups and downs of the pub business, while trying some excellent New Zealand crisp white wines.
Jenny was taken with Chas's Yorkshire bluntness and found herself wanting to get to know the forty something brunette a little better.
After lunch the women made their way to the spa area.
The first item was a massage. Changing in individual cubicles, the ladies were asked to strip down to their panties.
Wrapped in luxurious white dressing gowns, Jenny and Chas made their way to the tables.
Jenny inwardly gasped as Chas slipped the gown off her shoulders, revealing large breasts, not as firm as they had been, but quite lovely. The thing that really drew Jenny's attention was the nipples. Large aureoles with, a dark tan colour tipped with an almost black nub. Again Jenny's thoughts turned to young Emma and sapphic sex.
Suddenly she wanted to take one of Chas's breasts and kiss those incredible nipples, wrap her tongue around them and suck them between her lips.
Her thoughts were interrupted by Chas, "come on Jenny, were waiting, let's see your tits." Said the blunt Yorkshire woman.
Jenny slipped out of the gown and lay on the next table to Chas.
As the young masseuses smoothed the oil over their bodies, Chas and Jenny carried on their chats, until Chas said, "oh I could get used to this, who says winning the lottery wouldn't change them."
Jenny agreed, but her mind was elsewhere, she was both fascinated and by now more than interested in Chas's body.
The massages finished and after a manicure and pedicure, the ladies went back to their rooms to relax, ready for the evening.
