Clarrie’s not at the Village Fete
Which says a lot. The E. coli shebacle is hitting her quite hard indeed.
[Will] “Pat had a right go at her on Friday”
[Nic] “ … just bad luck”
Though Susan, obviously relieved that the E. coli was nothing to do with her, isn’t quite as supportive.
[Susan] “There are still three people in hospital. Two of them children”
True enough. But don’t start me on the ‘what about the children’ attitude …
Corinthia Hart is revealed to be …
[Susan] “That dumpy little woman? … I’d imagined more like Joanna Trollope”
Seems Corinthia Hart is just an average woman in a Beige cardigan.
I’m not even sure if Corinthia Hart is a nom de plume.
Either way, she seems to be a person of no real consequence to Ambridge.
Chris is “not filled with glee”
At the thought of having to spend the day with Brian and Jennifer at Alice’s graduation.
Odd that he’s not even thinking about bumping into Chas again …
Eddie’s contribution to Troll-gate
Was a river to run under Will’s bridge.
Very clever.
Emma is not amused. Even if her bridge (built by Chris) is (so Emma says) better.
Tom tells Vicky
Not sure why Tom told Vicky about the E. coli being Bridge Farm’s fault, but at least he didn’t tell her about Clarrie.
That seems like a changed Tom.
Did he give birth and have a personality like his sister did?
Cooking kills E. coli
So says Tom.
So it’s more than safe to eat his burgers.
Sham not everyone at the Village Fete knew that. Vicky knew it, but some parents were tasking their kids away when they realised it was Bridge Farm burgers.
(actually … did Vicky buy a burger?)
Jumpy scarecrow with a Scottish accent
Seems one of the scarecrows was a real life one, that “shouts very loudly in a Scottish accent” while jumping out on walkers by.
That’ll be Jazzer then.
Wonder whose garden he was standing in?
Miss Moffat didn’t impress
[Susan] “Miss Moffat looms like a hunchback, and her tuffet isn’t much to talk about”
Susan’s back on form
She’s telling everyone she can that Mistress of the Paddocks was based on Brian.
Even Vicky.
Which means everyone will know.
BUT, to her credit, she also doesn’t tell anyone about Clarrie.
[Susan] “It’s a bit of a mystery. They’re still investigating”
Scarecrow competition goes all Disney
Lewis is judging the scarecrow competition.
He claims he found it hard to judge:
[Lewis] “so many amazing tableaux”
The runners up, “highly commended” are Little Red Riding Hood (in Grange Spinney – but I don’t know who), and Vicky’s Three bears.
And first goes to …. Drum roll … both sets of the Billy Goats Gruff.
Hmpf.
[Lewis] “There was nothing to choose between them”
Double hmpf.
That was a big build up for a fairy-tale ‘and they all lived happily ever after’ ending.
They even all said “cheers” as this eavesdropping episode closed (they were getting their photos taken).
Since when was all fair in love and scarecrow wars?
Yet another damp squib.
There’s been a few of them in late.

LOL - agree about the amount of damp squibs. If Corinthia Hart is not a nom de plume then I'm as disappointed as you.
And maybe I need to get the earbuds out but I thought they said "Cheeeeeeeeeeese" at the end as is customary for photos?
I also had to take a double-take when Susan didn't reveal Clarrie to be the source of the e-coli outbreak
Annie M - quite right - it was cheese. Must have been too cheesy to write down properly... ;)
You think Susan is actually being a friend? How very odd she can be.
