Sabrina’s measuring everything …
Peggy thinks Lynda looks “inundated”.
[Lynda] “Well, I do feel as if I’m turning into Joyce Grenfell”
Later on, when there’s an audible collective gasp from (what sounded like) the WRI
[Lynda] “Sabrina, Sabrina! Please do bother about measuring everything. I don’t think a centimetre here or there makes a difference …”
You tell that to Richard …
Peggy missed Church again
Though she has made it to the Flower and Produce Show to enter her enamelling.
Jill Vs Peggy
Lynda reckons Peggy has displayed her enamelling beautifully.
Peggy’s effort is quite different from Jill’s.
[Peggy] “Hmm, a little more conservative than mine, isn’t it?”
Lynda reckons Jill’s is just a bit more traditional.
Especially in comparison to a rather “garish” tea cosy that someone (unnamed) has entered.
So, who won the battle of the enamel …. ? (Look below a bit).
James and Leonie are back *sigh*
And they’ve been given special permission to get into the Flower and Produce Show before the judging.
(I thought that was a jail able offence)
James has now taken to calling Leonie his “partner”.
So it must be love. And here to stay for a bit.
Unfortunately.
Don’t call Peggy “gran”!
Especially when she isn’t your gran.
The minute James introduces Leonie to Peggy for the first time, Leonie has the nerve to call her “gran”.
Ugh.
Nasty woman.
(Leonie, not Peggy)
James then adds insult to injury:
[James to Peggy] “We’d love to get your takes on things grant, as an old village resident”
And he and Leonie take the Michael of our Bert taking the Flower and Produce Show so seriously.
Then they have a laugh at Lynda’s mention of gentleman’s buttonholes.
(what’s funny about that?)
THEN, Leonie thinks the “garish” tea cosy is Peggy’s.
For goodness sake!
[Peggy later on] “It was nice to see James this morning, but honestly, they both made me feel at least 100 … they wanted me to perch”
After successfully offending Peggy, Leonie and James move onto Lynda.
[Lynda] “But honestly, the judges’ comments are so amazing!”
[James] “I think the word you used was ridiculous”
[Lynda] “*Sniff*. I don’t think they’re ridiculous at all”
[Leonie] “But how can it matter if someone’s Victoria sponge has got icing sugar instead of caster sugar, or that, ooh, the wax disc has sunk into the jam … it’s all so wonderfully villagey and quaint”
Prep on a Sunday
Poor Freddie (and Lily).
Elizabeth’s keeping them working hard.
Which is pants, on a Sunday, especially as Freddie wants to spend time with Fabien the pony.
Seems Freddie shocked by the amount of homework.
I would too, if I was his age and had to work a Sunday.
Lack of flat caps
[Leonie] “You know what, I was really hoping there’d be more flat caps today”
Then she calls Peggy “gran” again in front of Tony.
[Tony] “Gran???”
[Peggy] “Don’t …”
And the winners are …
The tea cosy came second.
Jill got no placing with her enamel (oh dear)
[Lynda] “The art teacher from Borchester green seemed to think it was very Clarice Cliff”
Peggy got first!
Jim got something (undisclosed) for his Tigerella tomatoes.
But the shock of 2011 – Joe got almost nothing, whereas Bert cleaned up.
That’s a shame. The Grundy’s need a boost.
No Panto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has declared Lynda.
She’s doing a concert instead.
Though it will be festive, she reckons. Christmas Round the World, she says.
Not sure I like the sound of that. And was hoping James would manage to persuade Lynda …
[James] “I suppose there’s no chance you might change it”
Why Flower and Produce Shows are important
[Peggy talking about Jack] “It would have been so lovely to share my news about winning with him. It’s those little things, isn’t it?”
[Elizabeth] “I know …”
[Peggy] “Of course you do”
[Elizabeth] “Do you know what, Aunty Peggy,. It’s been so nice today to just walk out today and know they’re okay, and to feel part of village life again”
[Peggy] “I’m sure. I think today has done us both good, hasn’t it”
Village life. Part of the community. Neighbours. Friends.
That’s our Ambridge.
And that’s something James and Leonie will never get, nor capture in their book.
