Our father has acquired a dilapidated caravan. Jim has taken on a new dog. The boys have also acquired new companions, though will they find the courage to share this with their mother?

Father is consumed by the desire to retrieve a plastic bag snagged in a tree. Jonny possesses an unparalleled flair for personal presentation. And Adam learns that a mother’s displeasure is a force to be reckoned with.

Adam and Jonny returned home to an unexpected sight: a woman, entirely clad in pink, stood before them. It was Gibby, their former au pair, back for a surprise visit.

Jonny pulled up in his car just as Adam arrived, flushed and damp with exertion. They stepped inside, offering their father gifts, but his expression remained clouded with displeasure.

The boys walked into the house, expecting a familiar scene, but found Val alone. Their mother was at the hospital, undergoing a procedure, and Val would be taking over the cooking.

Adam and Jonny introduce their partners to their parents. The encounter results in a mother brimming with enthusiasm and a father deeply uncomfortable.
