Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
Script by Joan Carr-Jones
Last week Mrs. Dale was very busy with last-minute preparations for Christmas. Sally and Mrs. Dale went for the day to Gimlet Green to get some holly. While they were there Miss Garside told them that people were gossiping about the vicar's friendship with Miss Pink. Mrs. Dale visited Brimscombe House to invite some of the old people to a Boxing Day tea party and met Ned Hopkins , a gruff, outspoken inmate. On impulse she invited him too. When she told the Doctor he was highly amused, and predicted that old Ned would surely wreck the party. When the time came for Mrs. Freeman to spend Christmas with Emily Cardew she regretted ever agreeing to leave Virginia Lodge. Gwen decided that Billy should be christened the Sunday after Christmas, and asked Sally, Richard Fulton , and Robin (David's best man) to be god-parents.
