♪ Phase one of the operation is complete.

Mother and daughter are turning into the allotment gate and heading for the bench.

Ah...choo!

Oh, I think it's time I had these curtains laundered.

Does Nancy still have the hat on?

I'm not to go out and join them until she's taken it off.

That's the sign that she's told her about the baby.

The hat remains in evidence, and they are assuming a seated position.

Sometimes I hardly notice nature where we live now.

There's always such a lot of it.

Flowers always seem more important in Poplar.

We've seen a few seasons change on this bench, haven't we?

Mummy, are you sure about that hat?

I don't think it matches your coat.

Since when were you a fashion designer?

Our needlework teacher says I have an eye for color and texture.

Oh, does she now?

Ha!

♪ I can remember when you were born, wondering what you were gonna want to be when you grew up and whether or not it was just gonna be you and me on our own forever.

Well, we've got Uncle Roger now, haven't we?

Did you know he doesn't like you wearing hats?

Uncle Roger isn't a fashion designer, either.

Ha ha ha!

Oh... ...choo!

Bless you.

♪ The hat has been removed.

So we have liftoff?

Wish me luck.

It's got ice lolly all over it now, Colette.

Collette: There's a label in it saying, "Dry clean only."

You'll have to take it to Mrs. Wallace.

Hello, girls.

What do you think of the news, then?

What news?

Um...

Sometimes after people get married, they decide that they're happier than they've ever been before.

And sometimes they are happier than ever before before they get married.

And so it seems that the sensible thing to do is to seal that happiness by having a child.

You don't need to do that, though, because you've got me.

Yeah.

Yes.

We do have you, and you've got us.

You've got us forever.

Yes.

You do, but do you want to know something lovely, Colette?

Something lovelier than this?

Yeah.
