Bring back our Clarrie!
Now I know I’m saying that Clarrie’s a Saint, and should spend more time on herself, but I’m really not liking this grump and quite snide Clarrie.
She’s still looking after her menfolk to the nth degree:
[Clarrie] “Joe, I’ve warmed your socks up”
But she’s keen to again get to work early to “beat” Vicky, later somehow managing to then trick Vicky into loading the delivery van the wrong way round
(well, Vicky claimed “Well it wasn’t my fault … she misled me!”)
However, that was nothing compared to the quite uncomfortably hard time Clarrie gave Emma:
(as Emma turns up on her doorstep)
[Clarrie, sounding irritated] “Oh. Emma … this is a surprise”
[Emma, sounding unsure] “I nice one, I hope”
[Clarrie] “You look rough”
[Emma] “Turnips and shortbread … not a great combination …”
[Clarrie] “Anyway, what did you want, cause I need to get on”
[Emma] “I just wondered how you’re coping?”
[Clarrie] “Fine, thanks for asking”
[Emma] “Cause if there’s anything you need …”
[Clarrie] “It’s a bit late now, ain’t it!. It’s when I had the plaster on that I needed the help, Emma”
Ouch!
Entirely Emma’s fault for not caring or helping when Clarrie broke her arm.
And she’s only trying now because she’s jealous of Nic and Clarrie becoming so close.
But that was not our ‘usual’ Clarrie.
Elizabeth redeploys David
Keen to crack on with planning (seemingly it’s time to bet on with Easter!), Elizabeth suggests to David that his:
[Elizabeth] “strengths lie in managing the estate”
Which is quite right.
So off David goes, back outside, back to dealing with beasts and fences.
But, he does insist on keeping the wedding.
Why?
How could he forget the tray?
After the fuss Mrs Barrington-Hughes made, and the anger David then felt, over finding an antique tray big enough to fit the new cake – how could David forget to check whether Lower Loxley actually had a suitable one?
The tray, David. Don’t forget the tray.
We know “your lot” likes cheese
What is it with the Grundy lot and cheese?
First they must have cheese on their cauliflower.
Now they won’t touch anything other than cheddar.
Maybe Clarrie’s new skills will inspire new culinary delights?
Clarrie doesn’t want to give up yoghurt
But Pat insists that she learns-up about the cheese making, so that she can help out while Helen isn’t at work.
But Clarrie isn’t interested, as she thinks it’s a ploy for Bridge Farm to keep Vicky.
[Clarrie] “I wouldn’t ever want to give up making the yoghurt … just so you know”
Then – all change as Pat explains Vicky is only there for that week, to help ease Clarrie back in. After then, it’s back to normal.
And … our Clarrie is back!
She even offers to bake a cake for Vicky’s leaving tea.
That’s better.
Kathy in a huff?
Kathy hasn’t been over yet to see Henry.
I can’t really blame her – Pat telling her not to come round so often must have hurt and made it difficult to visit again.
Who is more fragile?
[David] “I sorted out the foods fads … sorry, dietary requirements … of this orchestra … a vegan piccolo player and a trombonist with a nut allergy”
[Lewis] “Well you’re doing Elizabeth a big favour”
[David] “I have to”
[Lewis] “Why did this happen. Why? It’s so senseless”
And both Lewis and David agree that Elizabeth is still too “fragile” to be back at work.
I don’t think there’s anyone at Lower Loxley who is ready yet to take on daily life after Nigel.
