High Summer

It's high summer, but with the cafe and farm underperforming, the pressure is mounting on Desmond and his team. After a washout bank holiday weekend sees the cafe take another big hit, Desmond's latest brainwave is to bring a bluegrass band all the way over from America to play in one of his barns. Away from the stress of the cafe and farm, Desmond's mother, and Wiveton's oldest living resident, Chloe, is about to turn 100. Over a hundred friends and family will descend on Wiveton Hall to celebrate her centenary in what promises to be a quintessentially English garden party. Despite his busy schedule, Desmond still has time to mark the beginning of the duck-shooting season in style. Conditions are perfect, but Desmond's novice gundog still has a lot to learn.
