Hayley’s letting Phoebe go
It seems that over the weekend, Hayley sat down with Roy and Phoebe to talk about South Africa, with Hayley now agreeing that Phoebe can go for a year.
[Hayley, to Vicky] “It was talking to you last me that made me think … I was never going to win. I had to trust Roy and Kate, and Phoebe … now I’ve got to go along with it as best I can, and hope Kate doesn’t wind me up too much in the meantime”
Brenda and her stiff letter
Brenda typed it out, Lynda signed it – but probably unlikely to have an effect on noisy neighbour Jonti Waters at No.3 .
Bit of a bummer, that. Normally villages are so good at self-policing.
The Village Hall isn’t Glastonbury
According to Brian, but the DJ doesn’t seem to realise.
Kate’s being useful … and nice
Which I could suspect is Kate finally becoming a decent person – but is likely more to an afterglow of Kate getting her way to have Phoebe with her in South Africa.
She arrives at the village hall early to help get everything ready for the party, which is a shock.
Then:
[Kate to Hayley] “It’s me who should be saying thank you … for letting her come to South Africa. I know it can’t have been easy for you to get your head around. A holiday is one thing, but a year, that’s a lot to take on board”
Kate goes on to say that she really appreciates how it won’t be easy for Hayley. She knows that herself (though through her own choice).
[Kate] “I’m so grateful to you for giving me this chance. I really am”
[Hayley] “Yeah, well, okay. Thanks for saying so, Kate”
Later on:
[Hayley to Roy] “I even had a nice moment with Kate”
[Roy] “You what?”
Quite.
Not her usual behaviour, at all.
You will always find them in the kitchen at parties
Children’s parties. Adults. Drinking. In the kitchen.
While Hayley and Vicky started drinking before they even got to the hall, Jennifer stayed sensible. Until the party was underway.
Brian, Vicky and Roy also join in – with Brian lubricated enough to be (not totally unwilling to be dragged) up dancing with Vicky, and Jennifer to follow suit with Kate.
Stop them sneaking out?
I thin bouncers stopped people from getting in.
But then again, it is a kid’s party – so every chance they want to get out to have a wee Alcopop.
Josh and his mate Tyler (have we heard about Tyler before) tried, but weren’t crafty enough to circumnavigate Brian.
Jennifer hears the good news about Corinthia Hart
Vicky tells Jennifer that Corinthia Hart is opening the village fete (Vicky hasn’t as yet read Mistress of the Paddocks, so she knows not what she does).
It was seemingly Jim’s idea to get Corinthia – after his coup last year with Colin Dexter.
She’s even going to sit at a table of books and sign them.
All of which Jennifer doesn’t seem too enthusiastic about.
Brian’s also in for a bit of a shock. He hasn’t read it yet, so is none the wiser …
Ah – that’s more like Kate
Knew it could last.
Kate says that the 2:1 Alice got wasn’t good enough for Jennifer.
Which is a wee bit bitchy, especially in front of other folks.
