started to come out they're starting to pop up under the kitchen window the only problem on this beautiful day is that Jerry is leaving today which I absolutely hate but he'll be back in about a week I'm really sad that you're going today I will be back before I know it I'm loving this they coming and going all the time now you should do this all the time yeah this makes this is a you know a days here a few days exactly especially now mommy's here I think you should be here really regularly morning Vivian good morning good to see you now Phillip and Vivian are taking Jerry because the airport is in Lio and I'm very worried about the two of you having such a sudden interest in driving to the airport in liage after what happened with that teapot we have no desire to purchase anything I would say Vivian watch him like a hawk but that's hopeless and I would say watch her like a hawk but that's hopeless so goodness knows what's going to happen you should get that yeah absolutely you should you oh that is a bargain it's you it's you it's still you it's no good watching him lock him in the car no this is going to be it what we going to sing we're not singing it yet you can sing it with AB we're not singing it and F also say Stephanie what's that smell don't even say it don't say it I'm like what is it Stephanie don't say it team spirit every time and I used to say to your father can you smell that you can just see him can you let me try and think is it team spirit I she no I think it's coffee Vivian has brought Philip tonight an engagement present and a present for mommy you really didn't have to Vivian I absolutely have to bring something for your mother you and philli I mean you know that's maybe of course needs a gift her mommy looks as though yes yes yeah abely none of us would be here if it weren't for your mother abely she deserves all the credit usually Oliver says it's all down to him actually he says that I wouldn't have met Nick if I hadn't met him and therefore the whole Shadow and everything that came from it is down to him but you would have been born without your mother so no so you do take you do win yeah Mommy for the win I am e okay oh lucky you Percy is well if I didn't bring her yet she wouldn't be here we just need to find some fig leaves appar I so hope you that is a fig Leaf otherwise things could get a bit embarrassing in the house

happy did a oh I can't believe it thank you more porcel you're welcome beautiful fil knew you can start the collection some of you will remember because we filmed going to the Antique shop with Vivian when we were last at Vivian's shatow and Philip was looking at this terine which and I didn't buy it he didn't buy it it was a moment of being super thank you yes I thought I thought what would Isabelle do and I appreciate and I walked away exactly in the moment of weakness she didn't morning he have also just bought to so true the details and uh but this has got a really interesting story because it's made in the 19th century completely hand painted but in the style of the 18th century and for years and years this was in a museum and recently that museum sold a lot of its um objects and the woman that bought this from got it at that point for her shot and that's when Philip saw it but immediately this absolutely Museum quality oh my goodness what we fell in love with was the painting of the vegetables just the way that they're done but also the paintings of of the animals there's little fox and a dog and and sheep here and there oh yes I see something they had on castle Yeah Castle houses and there's a castle and there's a couple in a boat here and it does seem very fitting the engagement to read engag to read now I'm scared to say that I like anything in front of Vivan no I mean unless you're planning on getting married lots of times we'll just have a lot of renewal sah that's it every year thank you so much you are too generous yes you're actually one of the most generous people I know and now it is time for Gerald to go and I think we've spent so long talking about porcelain that you might not actually make it it was just our way of keeping you Gerald look at that once the backpacks on that's it it's time we don't want him to go do we have you got everything you carry anything I've got everything in here passport in the pocket we'll see passport we'll see you in about a week Gerald just over a week you'll be back I'll be back in Fr let's go say goodbye yeah it's lovely to see all the sheep in the field yeah we happy with one shepher says to the other Shepherd let's get the flock out of here let his flock that was borderline that was borderline you're going to get into trouble Gerald lelot come here darling he wants to buy porcelain he does he wants to bye Gerald see you next week and have fun in l oh oh the peacocks are saying goodbye as well lelot and I are out on our daily walk and I'm absolutely Amazed by how beautiful The Shard long is looking this was only planted in November and it's getting so established far faster than I was expecting and these flowers were glorious when they came out with little purple flowers all over them but are equally lovely now now that the flowers have gone because they're so sculptural in a garden and the rose of Sharon that my mother saw when we were last out is just getting bigger and bigger it's covered in flowers the Bumblebee is as happy about it as I am I think this is so stunning that I want to start planting it in little clumps around the rest of the garden here and there to bring the yellow through because I do like having this splash of color and I think it looks beautiful next to the blue and Davey's planting scheme all of the hosters are in flour and I know most people don't plant hosters for the flow but I'm actually very very fond of them especially these tall white flower spikes on the hostas here it's just stunning I love it here it's so strange because I think I've always been most excited about having a lovely formal Garden at a chat because somehow in my mind that's what a shat should have but I realize now that whatever else we plant in future I think this area is always going to be my favorite this slightly wild pathway leading to the woods with little tiny rooms within it this is just is everything I love in a garden but now sadly I must go in because I have an afternoon of admin ahead of me woohoo whilst I'm doing admin it looks as though Percy is going to be very busy on the mower mommy's clearly being cracking that whip he's doing a lovely job though whilst I upstairs having a miserable time getting up to date with the accounts you are apparently the only person in this chatow who has a credit card who knows where every single receipt except for one of the whole of 2024 is so far you're so on top of it yes I've go receipt box and it smells very very good actually because uh I spilled a perfume on one of the receipts so here you go have a smell okay well my work upstairs is amazing neither fragrant nor is organized because you go through and tick them off against the account don't you yeah they go they are taked off before they go into the box this is just for backup oh my goodness what a woman they're all she is my inspiration they're all in and you actually you're my sorial inspiration today though we both thought green there was Mommy was in green M green I'm sorry you have got a bit of green there I got chocolate smell okay can't thank you oh that's absolutely delicious thank you it's a bricko mar receipt so I wasn't even many of that stuff okay I'm going to go upstairs and spray my study with perfume in the hope that it will inspire me I need that and I've been up there all afternoon and very dull it's been hasn't it Lancelot very dull indeed watermelon yes that would help come to think of it I'm glad you mentioned that hang on I'll pop my tea there oh look at you yes we have fast at that well we have to time is off the essence here mhm um so we're for starter we're doing a untraditional caparos salad with barata and some Speck like jam Jam bom and a honey vegra like really delicious and yummy and summery finally that capresa salad I really great that's absolutely wonderful yeah so we're going to have a color match of all sorts of Melons I'm three three types of melons yum okay at least I've got that to look forward to to keep me going yes toodle pip I have genuinely just sprayed my desk chair with pillow Mist lavender and Olive I am feeling very soothed and ready to continue I am leaving the office because Phillip and Vivian are back so let's go and see if they found any Treasures how did it go great did you find anything I'll tell you who didn't spend too much money and

had just the perfect ones so I got those and then a couple of bigger kind of CHA chocolate cups I'm glad you found Things Are see them can we have a little yes well because obviously Philip's a
