- Oh, wow.

I just thought I wanted to, kind

of, you know, a bit like you,

just go somewhere which was, erm...

And do something that

I'd never, ever do again.

- Yes, yes.

- Or might not do again.

- A real adventure.

- Yeah.

I've got two older sisters.

Yeah.

Three girls.

And you're the youngest.

I am.

Yeah.

Me too.

Yeah, it's tough. It's

tough at the bottom.

Yeah, no, they, because they

always used to wind me up so much

when I was younger, because

they're actually closer in age,

and then there's a sort of gap

between me and Chloe, so it's...

Chloe?

Yeah.

My girlfriend's called Chloe.

Oh, right. It's a lovely name.

Yeah, so they all used

to, you know, wind me up...

.. and I just fell for it, every time.

But, yeah, so, lots of cooking.

To come.

- For them?

- For them.

I'll get some gruel.

And your mum and dad?

Erm...

My, erm, my dad died last year.

So, erm, yes, it's just my mum.

So it's actually four girls.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah, no, no, it's fine.

- Hi.

- Hi, would you...

- Morning.

- Morning.

Are you ready for breakfast?

I'll be up and down, so

don't worry, thank you.

- OK.

- You're not dressed.

It'll only take...

Mum didn't sleep well at

all. She feels dreadful.

She's wondering about the picnic.

I can't bear it.

Rose?

Yeah?

I know we talked about

soup and other things,

but could we just try and keep

the picnic as small as possible?

So, simple, just one basket.

Sure.

I think if there's less

faff and carrying stuff,

she might be persuaded.

Mmm.

Oh, can you go up, Edward?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Rose.

Yeah?

Did you find both rugs?

Erm, no, I've only found one.

The cream one, I couldn't find it.

There's a check one. Oh, right,

OK. I'll come and have a look.

Sorry.

It's all right.

Mum, you nearly ready?

Hello.

Hi.

How are you?

Good.

You ready?

Hi, Christopher.

Just get my boots on.

Hi.

Hi, Cynthia.

Sorry, yeah.

- Hi.

- Good day for it, isn't it?

Do you need a hand with anything?

No, I think we're all right.

Ready to go.

I think that's it.

Here, Edward. Torch.

Great, thanks.

So that's all ready.

Yep, think so.

Mum!

So, what have we got?

Just basics, you know.

Sandwiches, crisps, dips.

Caviar?

Yeah, champagne!

She's brushing her teeth.

Ah!

Hello.

All right?

Yes.

Right, let's go.

On the road.

I'll grab that.

Morning.

Hi.

All right?

After you. Thank you.

You look lovely in that.

I'm worried I've forgotten something.

Let me take that.

Well, if we have...

You've done all the work. It's fine.

Yeah, as long as you've got the wine.

Yeah, but, you know, I get the

blame if something goes wrong!

Joking. It'll be fine.

Look after that lunch!

Ow!
