Esther takes refuge from a troubled world on her allotment where she finds serenity among the vegetables and loses herself in her beekeeping.
While daughter Molly uses the shed as a makeshift study for her exams love-sick Robert has come to ask Esther to take him on a tour of her bee hive, but the spell is broken when Geoff wades in in a makeshift beekeeping outfit in search of his stolen pumpkin.
