Summary

Tom tells Adam how tired he and Natasha are. Adam reassures him that things will become more normal eventually – after all, they have got twins. Tom affirms that they’re probably lucky getting it all done in one go, though two will be enough for them. Gingerly Adam breaks the news of his edible forest garden idea. To Adam’s surprise and relief, Tom seems to love it. Kate’s having another stab at her cold weather yoga class at the rewilding site, this time on a better day. She’s still worried people won’t turn up. As she and Kirsty set up the mats, Kirsty comments she’s pleased to hear Kate and her family have given up on the church window idea. Kate’s touchy and Kirsty apologises. Kate admits she’s on edge; she wishes she’d cancelled this class. She gets a text from Noluthando, who’s split up from her boyfriend. Kate hates being so far away from her. She goes to call her while Kirsty holds the fort. Erik arrives and Kirsty recognises him as Jakob’s brother. He’s come to cheer on Kate for her class, which Kirsty thinks is nice of him. The class is well attended and a success; they agree they’ll definitely do it again. As they pack away Kirsty and Erik chat. Kirsty announces she might wild swim tomorrow, and asks Erik to go with her. He agrees. Kirsty pledges to bring hot chocolate, and Erik matches her with an offer of cake. They each establish the other’s single, and they look forward to their unorthodox first date.
