22nd August: The Millennium Wood Picnic



The Archers: Ed’s taking care of Emma … Alice and Chris return from Grey Gables … Debbie’s gone home … the Millennium Wood Picnic

  • Why was Ed surprised that the baby had a heart?
  • Boys will be boys
  • What the feuck was Ruairi ‘s accent?
  • Lynda’s current projects
  • Artichokes
  • Ah – it’s “Aldridge Millennium wood”
  • Vicky was very quiet about her cake


Why was Ed surprised that the baby had a heart?

You’d think that a chap who’s been around cattle all his life would know a bit more about pregnancy.

Anyway, it’s nice to hear a genuinely happy couple.

They’re keeping Emma’s pregnancy a secret. I wonderful if that’s anything to do with Will?

Just how will he react? Especially if Ed and Emma’s baby just happens to be born on George’s birthday.

If there was ever a candidate for the murder rumoured to be happening in early 2011, I think Will murdering Ed has to be the top contender.

“Hello tiny Grundy … I’m your daddy”

Here’s hoping Ed and Emma are left alone to enjoy their baby, that Will keeps well away, and that wee George doesn’t get left to one side …


Boys will be boys


Ah, bless Chris. He may now be a married man (to an Aldridge, no less), but he still gets excited by a big plasma TV, with all the sports channels.

It sounded like he was sensible enough not to sit and watch it the entire time he and Alice were in their luxury suite at Grey Gables.

So he may be a boy, but at least he’s a boy who knows when it’s time for sports, and time for romance.


What the feuck was Ruairi ‘s accent?

As warming as it is to see the teeny tots starting to have their friendships (George and Ruairi), what on earth was going on with Ruairi’s accent?

I know he’s bound to have a bit of a Irish hint, but it sounded like he was a bloke down the pub trying to do a Father Ted.

Most decidedly odd.


Lynda’s current projects


As well as a leading light of the Millennium Wood picnic, Lynda’s also now going to be planting around the village, is going to encourage the Peregrines to return, and will still have time to enter the flower and produce show.


Artichokes


First Ed is being a bit over enthusiastic about helping Emma over fences, then he gets obsessed with artichokes.

Which is fair enough, as Emma was very over excited about Jennifer’s quiche. Which seemingly had artichokes. Which Ed has never had before, but wants to get hold of.

We can only assume he thinks Emma has an artichoke craving.

What a sweet man he is. The baby is only the size of a fingernail, yet he’s already well and truly committed to making sure Emma is properly looked after.

Bless.

The only slight concern I have is that we’re now in for 9 months of loved up Ed and Emma. That could be a very nice thing, or we could be the ones with nausea …

Could there also be wedding bells?


Ah – it’s “Aldridge Millennium wood”


Thanks for the clarification, Jennifer.

Is there nothing they don’t own?


Vicky was very quiet about her cake


Infact, she didn’t even utter a peep.

How odd.
