James and Leonie still arguing
At Robert and Lynda’s for breakfast before they get to their plane, James and Leonie are still at it.
(again not rudery, just barny)
James reckons their book is “photo driven”. Leonie does not concur.
[Leonie] “The photos have their place but their function is to illustrate my words”
[James] “No, your words are basically just long captions for the photographs. That was the whole concept!”
Leonie reckons it was her concept in the first place.
[James] “You’re wrong but let’s not discuss this now”
Oo-er.
On their way to the plane, they get lost. Even though they have a Sat Nav.
[James] “How do you explain the fact that we’re 180 degrees out of our way?”
Leonie reckons she put the postcode into the sat nav, but James gave her the postcode to put in. So it’s actually James’ fault.
[Leonie] “It’s always the same, you can’t get the simplest things and you always know what’s best!”
They’ll split up soon enough, surely.
Robert’s worried about them,
[Lynda] “Well, when it comes to James, there a lot to be scathing about … It’ll blow over, you’ll see”
Please. Just split up (and both go away, only to return every other Christmas)
Lily is off to France today
Not that we get to hear about it, or that James or Leonie are remotely interested when Lynda tells them.
Ach well. Bon Voyage, and all that.
Girls. Playing cricket!?!
Surely a step too far?
(obviously, I’m being sarcastic)
Alistair’s at The Bull for a quiet pint and his newspaper (while Shula works her socks off. Nice to see Alistair is ready and willing to help out).
Jamie’s also there doing his shift. They get talking about cricket (as they tend to do), and Jamie mentioned that Natalie had mentioned that she and some of her (girl) friends would want to join in the youth cricket.
[Alistair] “Jamie gave me an interesting conundrum … what about girls training?”
He and Robert agree that there’s nowt wrong with the female gender playing cricket. But they can’t play against blokes when they all get to a certain age (17, they reckon).
One assumes that’s something to do with the power of the ball being thrown or hit?
(I don’t know. Football is more my game. I support a Scottish 1st Division team who a bunch of girls could probably easily beat …).
Sounds like the girls can join in, but only if they play against each other.
Lynda has ambitions
For Britain in Bloom. She already seems Ambridge in the final.
[Alistair] “If you only aim for the moon, you’ll never reach the stars”
Quite.
Eddie nearly ruins the Horn
[Robert] “Where for art thou Jolene?”
She’s hanging out of the window, telling everyone to get into a horn shape for the flyover.
They do manage to get everyone together and waving, though Eddie nearly didn’t get his bit of the horn right in time.
So the plane flies over, the brownies parade their bonnets, the band strikes up and The Bull’s punters cheer.
[Alistair] “I’m beginning to think this wasn’t the place for a placid bank holiday break”
Lynda’s latent racism
Alistair mentioned to Lynda that a chap called Iftikhar is going to be running the youth cricket.
[Lynda] “Where’s he from?”
[Alistair] “Felpersham I think”
[Lynda] “I meant … no … Felpersham, of course …”
Oops Lynda. That was close.
Did you spot Leonie doesn’t care about the peregrines?
Calling Robert about after the flyover, Leonie’s furious with James (yet again). Seems he wanted to fly in low at the church to get a good shot of the peregrines.
Robert’s horrified! The peregrines would have been terrified.
Leonie quickly catches on that that’s the reason she should have given for not wanting to fly in.
Actually, she really didn’t give a hoot.
[Leonie] “And not to mention the danger to us. Birds and aircraft don’t mix”
(i.e. “me, me, me, me, me”)
So James is sulking that he didn’t get his shot. And Leonie is sulking with James.
*sigh*
