As the ‘bad’ weather finally makes it to Ambridge, Vicky finally blows fierce ...

Possibly one of the most disliked new residents of Ambridge, it’s been a matter of ‘when’ rather than ‘if’ Vicky showed her less than gentle side.

I personally don’t mind Vicky, and have been willing to think that she’s just a bit overactive and lonely.

Her constant need to be involved (and interrupt) was a symptom of moving into a new rural community – combined with the fact that her husband, Mike, has lived there an age, has 2 grown up children, lost his wife (who was seemingly adored by all and every) and has some fiercely loyal friends. Not an easy set-up to step into.

But, the moment Mike stood up to her to say ‘no’ about something (anything), and kept to his ‘no’, it was inevitable that there’d be argy bargy.

Still, you’d have thought he could have stood up to her over something important (like Brenda’s obvious wish to NOT have Vicky at her graduation), rather than something so mundane (is it really that big a hassle for him to take her along, and stop off for a pub lunch??!).

Question is: has Vicky ever had an ulterior motive for marrying Mike – or will this develop into a cautionary tale of marrying before getting to know where your beloved keeps their warts?

Butterfly Eggs

I would have also liked to have gone and found butterfly eggs for a survey (though possibly not accompanied by Lynda and Vicky). Where on earth do you start???
