Spring is in the air at Paradise Lodge
Sleepin_Dragon22 August 2015
The Church visit has not gone to plan, Flora has put money into the collection, and taken change out, and even read her True Romances during the service, much to the annoyance of Dolly and Mildred, even Dolly's hit the wincarnis.

Cissie's had tea with the Vicar's wife, and she's let slip that she doesn't like Flora after she slapped the Bishop's wrist. The Vicar's wife has been smirking at Flora and talked Miss Milton (head of the spring Fayre) into banning Flora from the Spring Fayre.

A calculating Flora catches a small flirtation between Miss Milton and Roger, and Flora blackmails her into giving up the Tea stall, prized task of the Vicar's wife. Flora and Cissie resort to underhanded tactics in order to get free cakes as they fleece the local teashops. The Fayre is a success, Dolly's won a bottle of sherry, and Flora's won a prize, but where's the ticket?

Some great one liners in this episode and Lally Bowers puts in a cracking performance as a drunken Dolly. The fashions are fun, Finchy looks great in her mini dress, and Roger's tie I'd love to get hold of, it's brilliant. 8/10

The Spring Fayre
Prismark108 May 2017
It looks like the Vicar's wife dislikes Flora and as the Spring Fayre approaches Flora is stopped from running the stall at the fayre.

Flora is not happy but when she catches Miss Milton and Roger involved in some banter Flora takes advantage of it by claiming the prized stall, the tea stall which is always run by the Vicar's wife.

In order to get provisions for the tea stall, Flora visits tea shops in the town for free cakes which mount up as Flora repeatedly finds a bug in the buns.

The fayre goes swimmingly well. Miss Milton reads the tarot cards. Mildred rides the wall of death. At the tea stall all the cakes are sold out because all the tea shops in the town have been closed down.

Flora even wins a prize but Cissie seems to have mislaid the ticket in a cuppa. As always Flora's joy is snatched away by Cissie.
