Private Notes
Nicky and Steve have left behind their old life in Leeds and moved to their dream house in the country. But the dream is rapidly turning into a nightmare.
When their kitchen floods, Steve and Nicky are forced to call for Ken's help. Steve is convinced the source of the problem is a natural spring that could be the answer to all their problems.
Nicky and Steve's dreams of peaceful country nights are shattered by Grizzo and his band rehearsing his latest album outdoors. But Steve is not getting much sleep anyway - his web design business is losing customers hand-over-fist to a rival firm. And just to rub it in, Matt and Meena's latest business venture is going from strength to strength. When they ask Steve for some free advice on designing a website he is not impressed. But that is nothing to his reaction when Nicky manages to land him with a work experience boy from the local village - the dreaded Bronson.
Nicky and Steve are alarmed to discover that an ancient public right of way runs straight through their garden. When Steve makes an enemy of the ramblers who insist on using it, a tense stand-off ensues. Will the neighbours sign their petition? Meanwhile, Matt and Meena's kids take part in a sponsored recorderthon for the local hospital, and the proud parents are adamant that Nicky and Steve should come along to support it. Also, Grizzo is preoccupied with a new tapping craze - could it be the answer to Nicky and Steve's problems?
Nicky and Steve are missing the hustle and bustle of the city. They fantasise about all the exciting things they could be getting up to if they still lived in Leeds and had not moved to the middle of nowhere. All Steve has to look forward to is a day of chasing up invoices for his web design business, before events takes a bizarre and frightening twist. Meanwhile, Nicky's day does not seem to be going any better when she is conned into taking Alice, an old lady from the village, to the doctor's.
Nicky and Steve finally invite all of their friends from Leeds over for a belated housewarming party. Ultimately it looks like most of their guests won't be coming, but news of the party spreads through the village.
