All The Small Things

I would do the same as you do, Tigerpip, but I suppose there are partners who are willing to wait for their loved ones to come back to them, and lots do, I suppose. He is probably having his mid-life crisis

Yes, Perdita, you are probably right - but I wonder what would happen if/when Esther had/has a mid-life crisis and the tables were turned and she was all glammed up and had a thing for a much younger guy - the new curate Jake, for instance?... you can bet your life he would come running back to her at a sprint....
especially when the new girlfriend starts demanding this and that..and he realises what an idiot he has been, and what he actually had at home. Some men just want what they cannot have...<grass being greener on the other side, and all that>
Some men!!!! Grrr! they are just small boys in large pants!

[Perdita]

The grass that appears to be greener on the other side will need cutting at some time too though, that is what a lot of people do not think about

Exactly, well said Perdita!
Happy Easter to you, and all members here! Hope the fountain of chocolate flows Eggstra s-l-o-w-l-y!

Happy Easter to you too

I think Nemanja and Jake need to think about security, first the tools go missing, then they come back to find the place vandalised. Esther really is a saint for voting Layla onto the committee, after all that has happened. She should know that this will mean bad news for her and her friends Glad that the Serbian couple got married in the end and good to see Alec Gilroy (Roy Barraclough) on tv again as the vicar. I really enjoy this drama.

Yes, Perdita - I am enjoying this drama too, and thought the wedding was delightful.. in fact the whole concept of this little drama is nice and *different*.
However, at the same time, I was getting a little angry that Esther was too accommodating at the meeting. I wouldn't have been so generous. ( I would have probably spiked Layla's coffee with arsenic!)
I loved it at the end, watching Esther's husband Michael seething - as she danced with Jake though!

I am rather surprised at the daughter Georgia - she is not being very loyal to her mum by living with Michael and Layla - although I guess she is feeling rather confused at the whole set up.
I cannot wait for Layla/Michael to come to blows as they inevitably will..

I am really enjoying this new program, and I can see there is going to be alot of FIGHTS between the OTHER WOMAN and Michael .. Hmmmmmmm wonder where all her money is coming from ???She sure seems to have deep pockets,,,

Ok guys -- what did you make of last night's episode??
I thought it was quite good in as much as we found out about the relationship between Jake and Layla....(although I had an inkling of it anyway)

I loved the alternative funeral burial or cremation!! - the music was beautiful - and the emotional scenes in the church with Jake and Ethel and the revelation from Gilbert when she confronted him, were quite moving.
Maybe the rift can now be healed between the sisters.

I also like the fact the Esther's husband is finally realising what a totat d**k-head he has been, or is being! I still hope she doesn't go back to him - but I have a feeling she will.

I have missed it, could somebody just briefly explain what happened? I can't watch it on iplayer etc. due to my location
