Ambridge on the Couch

Hope you all have a fabulous Christmas, and thank you so much for your support, your friendliness, your hilarious emails, your touching reminiscences and your all round good eggedness. We are very lucky to have you.

We spend a whole week with our heads down the lavatory and wonder if Leonard is going for sainthood and how Lily can be quite so blasé about Australia....

So Brad and Amber are a thing, why has Joy become hysterical over the tractor run and has the shop finally settled down?

Is Brad struggling with his inner Machiavelli, and who was Rex thinking of...Alice or Krusty?

We spend a week in Blackpool and Scotland, welcome Peggy MkII to the clan and praise Brian for getting out of it....

As if an eight hour minibus ride to Scotland with her extended family wasn't enough, Phoebe now has even more good news to contend with.

It's more unusual to have the sandwiches after the funeral, not during, but this is Ambridge....Chris and Carly, George and Esme...it's all about to kick off.

Harriet gets a baby girl named after her, Jeff doesn't, no-one wants Georgie and Lilian's becoming more like Justin every day.
