Elizabeth chooses weddings
Fair do.
It’s a way to converts the dairy into a profitable business that’s in keeping with lower Loxley … but I still think it’s a bit of a gamble.
Pip’s looking for woolly hats
But, according to Jill, she’s looking for bargains.
Pip’s seemingly endless supply of ready cash for the ski holiday must have dried up.
Jazzer sings his song for Lynda
[Jim] “Jazzer’s worried Lynda might find it a bit more bawdy than she’s expecting … this is an noble, medieval tradition.”
[Eddie] “Of filth!”
But I failed to hear what was rude about Jazzer’s ditty.
Jim had to ask Lynda to be gentle on Jazzer. He’d been practising his song, and was also taking Latin lessons from Jim.
I didn’t get the whole of Jazzer’s ditty down, but it was along the lines of: There was a friar of old green - offered the nun to learn her to sing - groped with flattery.
I didn’t really hear anything risqué. Every for Elizabethan times.
But, Lynda seemed to find it a tad full on.
[Lynda] “I don’t know what to say. It was very, tuneful. You sang with great gusto Jazzer.”
[Jazzer] “Is that a good thing?”
I’d suppose so.
Is Joe’s farmer’s cough fake?
Surely not (!!!).
Though Jazzer reckons it is.
Joe’s farmer’s cough seems to get worse when he’s sat on the village green, selling mistletoe and holly.
Jazzer reckons he just does it to get people to feel sorry for him, and buy.
[Joe] “I don’t care if they feel sorry, as long as they buys it.”
Like hen’s teeth, but actually Joe’s teeth in a turkey
I kid you not.
Clarrie (who is still very silent) found some of Joe’s false teeth in a turkey.
It was the ones he’d lost apple day. They must have gone into the crusher, been crushed, then eaten up by a turkey.
[Joe] “Two of them grinning up at her when she opened the bird, gave her quite a fright!”
Joe thinks it’s hilarious. Eddie not so funny.
He’s desperately trying to keep Joe’s voice down so that folks who have bought turkeys don’t start demanding refunds.
Bob Pullen still isn’t well
[Jill] “It’s a shame, just before Christmas too.”
Indeed.
And at his age (well, well over 90? Certainly older than Joe),
Wolfgang has pneumonia
But Lynda is taking good care of him.
So, not to worry.
Jill’s the unsung hero. Again.
First off, she’s secretly helping Kenton with whatever Kenton is up to.
[Jill] “Kenton’s making me nervous. You know what he’s like”
And she’s doing a stunning job on the food, and also with Kathy on the decorations.
[Lynda] “The Gingerbread stars are a masterstroke!”
“Quite something to be spending Christmas day in a stately home.”
I’m absolutely stunned that Jim Lloyd said that.
He puts himself across as such a democrat (in the old sense of the world).
Still, he and Christine have been invited to Lower Loxley with the rest of the Jill side of the Archer clan … so I suppose it would be churlish to not be excited.
Lynda doesn’t like to say I told you so
But he does do it, sometimes.
She’s revelling in being right about having told Jim not to trust Borchester Life.
[Lynda] “I didn’t think the rash of green grocer’s apostrophes was your work.”
[Jim] “Is that supposed to be funny?”
Poor Jim.
Bad memories for Eddie
Ed and Emma having to move out of Rickyard reminds Eddie of when he and the rest of the Grundys were evicted from Grange Farm, all those years ago.
[Joe] “Ambridge View though lad, it ain't like having to go to Meadow Rise.”
[Eddie] “It's the shame. Feeling you can’t provide for your family … I feel like I failed him too.”
Joe coaches that all they need to do is focus on helping Ed and his family from hereon.
[Joe] “we'll all have to do our best to set them back on their feet, won’t we?”
