Episode
Oh hello. Yes I’m fine. Can I pour you some tea? Well, you just have to get on with it, don’t you? He’s gone and that’s that. Life goes on. Course I miss him. Not that he was ever here, always in the garden with his blessed plants. He had a way with plants, won competitions, you know. Do you want some tea?
Not that I’ve had a moment’s peace since he passed away. Miss Ann, she asked if she should delay the wedding for a bit, considerate thing she is. I could see she was terrified I’d say yes! I think she thinks she’s got the one shot and if she misses it that fool Tinsley will be off, or doing something stupid again. Anyway, I said of course not. So now we’ve got everyone and their uncle turning up and more coming. Ann suggested I get someone from the village to help with the house and really, though I don’t like anyone else in here, this time I said yes. So we’ve got Gladys and Beth, not sure what they’ll get done, chattering all the time like some little birds, but I can’t do it all. As I said to John, I’m not getting any younger either and before long I won’t be able to do everything. He’s a nice boy. I wish he’d settle down, especially now that his dad’s out. Still, the only one in the picture is that Emma. I’ve seen them talking again, and you know what I think of her.
Well, I’m looking forward to the wedding. Need something cheerful around here. He’s an idiot but if she can keep him in order maybe they’ll make a go of it. Did I offer you some tea?
