Original subtitles

Six years ago,

Angel and I fell in love with a derelict, 45-room chateau.

This is truly beautiful.

And since then we've spent every spare moment

bringing it back to life.

This is beyond better than what I'd imagined.

Oh!

LAUGHTER

THEY CHEER

We've both learnt so much over that time.

Now, we want to use Angel's creativity...

See the vision?

...and Dick's ingenuity...

That is the basis of a bed.

...to solve your design and DIY dilemmas.

We really, really need your help with the sash window

on our first floor landing.

From crafty conundrums...

I want to massage it in

because then it creates that lovely sort of fluffiness again.

...to entire room renovations.

We're sharing our tips and tricks with you...

That is ridiculously solid.

Surprised you? Yeah.

Surprised me too.

...to get the most out of the things you already have.

Oh, beautiful!

THEY GASP

Oh, my God.

And to prove with just enough encouragement...

Honestly, I've a little tear.

We did it, we created a fabric.

It's a thing of beauty.

I love it. Completely love it.

...together, we can all make do and mend.

Mummy's leading the way.

No, Dorothy's leading the way. Good. We know who the boss is.

Over the years we've had all kinds of celebrations here at the Chateau.

And today we're making plans for Dorothy's birthday.

Do you want me to hold that?

We are throwing a party by her new birthday shed.

We love a bit of colour here at the Chateau,

so decided, just like we did with our chicken coup,

multicoloured was the way to go

and we've gone one extra by making it mermaid-themed.

All this stuff can be put here.

It looks amazing.

Let's start moving in, eh?

Now Dorothy needs to fill it.

Do you like them? You don't have to. These are just ideas.

I was just thinking like that?

Do you actually like the concept though? You're not sure?

Right, come and choose something else.

Well, if at first you don't succeed...

Do you like it here? That looks really cool.

And, as we're planning to have guests at the party, we're going to

have make the rough terrain a little more hospitable.

We're going to stay on the track and go wherever I want

and if I say stop you just lift your foot off the accelerator, OK?

OK, yeah. Drive me.

And Arthur's only too happy to help.

Little bit more, little faster, that's good. Perfect line.

Well done. Stop.

We don't want to run the shed over, do we?

While we get on sprucing up some old garden furniture,

the boys finish off levelling the ground.

Let's hope our guests aren't too thirsty

cos this may take some time.

Working outside in the garden is always good for you.

It's where you get muscles.

That's why Daddy's got this sort of six-pack inside a barrel.

You actually don't have a six-pack.

Rake over there and be quiet, you.

Although we're preparing for a celebration at the Chateau,

we've always got time to help you with your projects.

Let's see who we've got to speak to here. We've got Linda and Andrew.

Do you know what they are doing? I don't. Neither do I.

Shall we find out? Yes, yes, please. I wonder what they're doing.

Hello there. My name's Andrew.

Course you did.

£1 for a bathroom suite, you see.

I just want to point out here this is one of these things

where Linda says, "Can you just take this cast iron bath upstairs?"

I get it.

Do you want to hug Andrew right now?

That's not the interesting side. The other side is the scary thing.

I know, I know, that's the side you'd cover over.

Hang on, going to get a tissue.

She wants somewhere to go and just remember.

She wants somewhere very peaceful.

I just hope you can steer me in the right direction because,

just heating the water isn't that easy.

You can see Andrew completely wants to make this space

exactly what Linda needs it to be.

We want Linda to have somewhere that's just a lovely place

to sit in a bath, full of bubbles.

Look out, clear her mind.

Being down at the end of the garden by the caravan,

it'll be a nice place to be.

We can help.

Last year, we turned our old, abandoned wash house

into a relaxing, watery oasis.

I want to use the technical skills and design know-how

we mastered doing our bathhouse

to help Linda and Andrew with their project.

Hello.

Great to see you.

Oh, Linda, you are looking so gorgeous and glamorous.

And you're looking wonderful too, Andrew.

You are looking very stylish there.

I've just got some very basic questions to understand.

Do you have any form of drainage?

We've actually got a manhole cover that drops into a drain,

so there's a possibility to run a drainage pipe

straight down into that drain.

OK, from my perspective, a plan with south on it

and also relative position of Tilly, the drain,

then you can shape your room and you can shape your room

because obviously Linda and Angel, they'll sort out what

things are going to be there and what the feel is going to be like.

Completely. We haven't seen inside the bath.

Yeah, I know it well, actually.

Kintsugi.

Celebrate the imperfections, let's do that. Absolutely.

Make them beautiful. I think all imperfections are gorgeous anyway.

Don't sit still for too long, Andrew,

otherwise we'll end up with gold marks and tattoos, fella,

to go with our kintsu..ragi..ugu.

Kintsugi is a Japanese art using gold to mend broken objects.

Kin, meaning gold, tsugi means joinery,

it's a beautiful way to celebrate imperfections

and you don't have to use real gold.

Tell me about this bath, beautiful lady.

This is something with age and history,

and I like celebrating the fact that it's really old,

and that's why when Linda said she wanted to do Kintsugi, I really,

really liked that and I want to give this a go to see if it works.

Let's see what's going on down here.

Oh, no!

Oh, dear.

Oh, the original bath.

I'm just being as brutal as I'm going to be.

I'm just taking off all the flakiness.

Right, come in, baby, have a little look.

So this is the gold.

This one is an outside metal paint.

I couldn't find bath enamel. It might be out there.

Let's see if this works.

You've literally just dribbled it on there. I have, yes.

You're literally just going to fill the gap up with paint.

Oh, yeah.

That's just going to go up to the lip of that. Yeah.

OK, so the plan is working.

This would be very, very therapeutic

if I wasn't bent over in the bath!

This looks exactly like how I thought it was going to look

and when it's dry, all I've got to do is put the sort of hard enamel,

sort of clear resin over the top and good to go.

Well, there's no time to watch paint dry as we have another request.

We're getting people from over in the west, up in the north,

down in the south.

All over the country, people are doing bits.

Let's find out where Alisha's from, what's she doing.

Hi, my name is Alisha and I'm from Yorkshire

and the project I would really like help with is my back yard

because at the moment, it's just four walls and a concrete floor.

Wow.

I'm a chef, I belong in the kitchen

and I do not know where to start when it comes to the garden.

We can get a lot of productivity in a concrete square.

I would really like this outside space to be able to produce seasonal

vegetables that I am able to use in the kitchen, but also I would

love the back yard to be able to act like my own personal supermarket.

I like that phrase - my own personal supermarket.

That's the relationship your mum has with our walled garden.

She's been out there with actually a shopping bag!

Six years ago, when I first saw the chateau's walled garden,

I fell instantly in love.

And with a few years of nurturing, the potagerie now provides

the family with a wealth of fruit and veg.

I'm keen to share my gardening know-how with Alisha,

so where better to meet her than in the Walled Garden itself?

Hiya. Hi, Dick.

So lovely to see you.

And you're growing stuff already.

You don't need me.

I can grow stuff in the window, but put me in the back yard,

don't have clue where to start, so I definitely need your help.

Is it about flavour or is it about productivity?

It's to do with the flavour.

Working in the industry, the food that we use, it's forcefully grown,

because we need so much of it.

Quality is what I would say is the most important.

What I really could do with is for you to give me a plan of your garden

pointing where south is, where you've got some soil, at all, yes?

And where it's just solid concrete, let me know.

What are you like with your DIY?

It's not up there with my cooking, but it's not too bad.

I know how to fix some things together.

Good, good. I'm looking forward to this. See you anon. Take care.

Bye. Thanks, Alisha. Bye, darling.

As soon as she grows something, she's going to be addicted. I agree.

You're making me hungry.

We've got some weeding to do. Got your wellies with you?

I'm going to make a cup of tea.

A few days ago, we asked Linda and Andrew

to fully map out the site of their alfresco bathhouse,

but they've gone one better, and also sent us a guided tour.

And then we go round into the area

that we're going to build the bathhouse.

That's nice. We're back to the house looking down. Yeah.

That's the view they'll have from the bath, that's the key, isn't it?

Right, that's the plan.

Oh, I'm liking the feel of this, though,

there's going to be lovely decking.

So Tilly's moving to there.

The drain is on the other side,

the drain, you see, you can go through the hedge to the drain.

It's not an issue. Mm-hm. Yep.

The drainage might not be an issue,

but there'll be no bubble baths until I plunge into the plumbing.

Andrew's got a decision to make,

how's he going to heat his water?

You can get a heating element, you dangle into big baths,

and it heats the whole lot up,

maybe 30 quid will get you one of those.

You can go to the fossil fuel solution, using gas or oiL

I can't see that being the right thing for him.

It's just going to be a bit smelly, and I don't think we want that.

When it comes down to wood, we can get a little stove

with a back boiler.

That's what we've got across in the domes for the hot tub.

And of course, the all singing all dancing solar solutions,

slightly more complex, could cost himmgetting on for a grand.

But the key thing about the plumbing for Andrew is

the fact that he has to raise his bath,

because the drain is actually uphill of where the bath's going.

It's just a fact of life.

He's got a little bit of thinking to do, but this is a good solution,

cheap as chips and heats your water.

Let's see what they come up with.

Preparations continue for Dorothy's birthday,

and no party is complete without a chocolate cake.

Grandma's put all the dry ingredients in there.

We just need to remember the recipe.

It's flour, sugar, um...

"bicarbonate of soda and baking powder.

And coca!

Yeah.

It's the bicarb of soda that makes it go so fluffy

when you put the hot water in.

So it's a very, very clever recipe.

All right? Go for it, Arthur. Yeah.

Oh, fantastic.

We're going to be making Dorothy's favourite, a slime cake,

with icing to match her multicoloured mermaid shed.

All the wet stuff now which is two eggs, oil,

milk and a little bit of vanilla essence.

That's it, you see, he was born to do it. It looks good.

It does. You know, it's going to be absolutely fantastic.

This is a big job, Arthur.

The big moment of truth.

Oh, well done, mate.

N0. "N0." THEY LAUGH

Nope.

THEY LAUGH

Right, let me see, excuse me, come here, before you lick the bowl.

Mummy's not letting you get away with that.

I don't want three quarters of a cake!

Bon appetite. Thank you.

Well, Mum, it's just about getting it in the oven, isn't it, now?

Yeah?

While the cake bakes, Arthur enjoys the spoils of his hard work.

And I'll be back later to decorate.

Meanwhile, I'm checking in with another chef

who's hopefully cooking up a plan for her garden.

Shall we see if Alisha's done her homework?

Hi, Dick. As you can see, I'm in the back yard,

and I'm here to show you where the mud is

and to show you what kind of mud it is.

I'm gonna have to teach Alisha to say soil instead of mud.

Arthur and Dorothy play in the mud,

but Alisha and I are going to work in the soil.

This mud is thick with pebbles,

and I'm not too sure if it can grow anything, to be honest.

# Burn, bum, bum, bum, bum. #

The garden is basically north facing.

That means the far end of the garden

is going to be where most of the light is.

Just what it is, you've haven't got a choice

when it comes to these things.

So, here's my list, probably a little unrealistic,

but I would love to have a herb bed with your basics,

like basil, thyme, rosemary, chives,

a salad bed. I'm mean who wouldn't want a salad bed?

Well done, Alisha.

So, here's some of the equipment.

I have this absolutely beautiful pallet wood.

She is just so, so ready to get stuck into this.

Right, I need Alisha to be clearing

that whole area,

and then I'm going to show her how to build a planter

out of her pallets.

And we're going to go up.

A tiered planter is useful in any garden,

but it's a great addition when outside space is tight,

or its difficult to dig down,

exactly the issues Alisha has.

So I'm going to show her how to make one.

I've dismantled some pallets,

and now I'm screwing them together into a basic box

to match the width of my beds.

Babes, that took you about 90 seconds.

This is bits of palate that's the right shape to fit in there.

That is a bed that gives a depth of extra compost or soil

and allows things to grow through it.

But because of the space being limited in the yard,

I want to go up in the air.

This is my support for the back.

We're already starting to going up the wall.

Here we go. Next one.

There you go.

Do you know how much this cost so far?

Half a packet of screws. OK.

I'm just going to fill this up with compost

and then literally planting it.

Empty it here.

Put that in here.

One of the things about any container growing

is losing the moisture in the summer,

so hence line it with the plastic.

All right.

This is my first Alisha bed.

And this bed is going to have in it all the things

that taste very special when you grow your own.

It's been a few weeks since we've caught up with Linda and Andrew,

and since then, it's been all hands-on deck,

and in this case, quite literally.

Decking's looking good.

This is the view from the bath,

and if I go up,

I'll show you the piece I'm going to be making good.

So, that's my tutorial. Thank you, Angel.

Look at that. Liquid gold.

She looks happy.

You know what, I'm looking forward to speaking to Linda.

Linda, can you see me?

Hello, Angel.

I'm loving seeing all the decking and the bath sort of

being on there, and the view...

SHE GASPS ..just was gorgeous.

It's going to be my own little spa area,

but it's going to be real funky as well.

I just love the feel of the 1960s Palm Springs.

I love the Palm Spring vibe.

It really got into its heyday in the '30s, actually, didn't it?

Because it was the place where the hollywooders would go on holiday.

And I'm guessing you're going down that road because,

number one, the bright colours.

And, actually, it's completely stylish and you.

It was just a light bulb moment.

What have you got? I've got the pink bath,

I have a satellite chair, a bamboo cocktail table.

Yep. gorgeous.

With the bath, now I've seen it in situ,

I have to say I'd love to see the underbelly gold.

I didn't think of gold, and gold is an amazing way to go.

It's going to be the centre piece of your, of your area, isn't it?

I think we're in we're in a good place,

because you know exactly where you're going style wise.

It's going to look fabulous.

Thanks Angel. Bye Linda, love to Andrew. Bye. Bye-bye.

So as Linda and Andrew charge on with their project,

I'm turning my attention to Alisha and her garden transformation...

...as she creates the tiered planters I showed her.

There we go.

And the sooner she starts planting,

the sooner she'll have produce ready to eat.

I've had my spuds chitting. What?

See the little shoots coming out there?

They're quite delicate, so I have to handle them carefully.

His is where it all starts to grow.

There's lots of ways of getting started,

this is such a simple one,

and because the whole of her yard is a yard,

her being able to do something that's sat on top of the bricks,

and it'll grow, it's a very useful, quick way of doing things.

And here we have a forever bag,

and this forever bag is now going to be a forever potato bag.

And all I'm going to do is put some soil in it.

One good seed potato is usually enough for,

we usually have two heads of potatoes for a meal

for the four of us.

So that's a meal for four.

OK. So these little spuds, here we go in, watch.

Look at this.

Just put those little bad boys in like that.

What I'm going to do is, on the top of them,

I'm just going to shake the soil out.

Anything that looks like weed we get rid of.

Another five go in.

So, here we go, like that.

Like that. See there?

Four months from now, that will be a bag of greenery.

Then what we're going to do,

turn it all out and just pick out the spuds.

Much easier than digging.

And all the hard work is almost done for Linda and Andrew

and their alfresco bathroom.

The fencing is up.

And Linda has applied her Midas touch to the bath.

It's looking good.

And now it's time to see the fruits of their labour.

Shall we? Yeah, let's.

There we are, that's what it was like.

That's brilliant!

That is so gorgeous and so special.

Oh, brilliant.

She's painted the little bamboo bar.

That's just a lovely relaxing space.

Lovely in the evening as well,

with the little lights twinkling around the place.

And I now have a beautiful imperfection.

That is beautiful.

It's glistening beautifully in the sun.

Aw.

THEY LAUGH

Stay in that water, mate, stay in the water. Don't get up, Andrew!

That's just going to be a lovely place to go to, isn't it?

It's gorgeous. Yeah, so chuffed for them.

Shall we give them a call? Absolutely.

Hello. Hiya! Hello! Hi!

Andrew, what have you done, fella?

We always have the ladies try it first.

I've just got to sort of congratulate you

on how beautiful everything looks. I'm just sort of blown away

and completely jealous of your £1 bath set,

because you have taken it and made it something, honestly, incredible.

Thank you, Angel, we love it.

You know, I can just imagine that you're going to be in the bath,

a lovely bubble bath with your gorgeous view,

and it's just going to be,

it's going to be like that hug that you wanted. It really is.

I was in the bath last night, and I was looking up at the sky

and all the swallows came across and they were feeding,

and just darting about, and I was lying in this bath

thinking, "This is heaven, it was amazing."

There is something luxurious about a heated bubbly bath,

be happy together you two.

Yeah, yeah! Look at that! Hey!

Any excuse Andrew, I'm for that as well. Bye!

Bye!

They are really going to enjoy that,

and there was a genuine peacefulness with them both, and it was lovely.

Sitting down together, with all they can see is the beauty around them

and looking out, that's a nice place to be. Yeah.

ANGEL: Look, don't those colours look lovely?

We're busy at the chateau and getting crafty with the decor

for Dorothy's mermaid-inspired birthday shed.

Can you cut me about there, please?

And we're making a colourful macrame wall hanging for its back wall.

Right, take that. And that goes over.

And then you pull it underneath.

OK? And you do that.

Fold it in half, make sure the ends are roughly...

"roughly about the same length.

That's it. That's it. Yeah, and pull.

While in Yorkshire, Alisha's yard is looking very different.

She's creating the tiered planting system I showed her.

The garden's really coming together

and so is Dorothy's wall hanging.

Oh, Dorothy, that's brilliant.

I like that twist.

But now it's time for another one of your requests.

There's so many emails coming in right now, and it's so eclectic.

I just like having a bit of fun, a bit of variety.

OK, let's see what Kerry has got to say.

Hi, Dick and Angel I was wondering if you could help me

with my grandmother's haberdashery box.

Oh, a classic. A haberdashery box.

It's primarily sort of bits and bobs for sewing

where you collect it all together.

But I think in the old days, ladies would put, I don't know,

love letters and sort of things that...

You know, don't touch my haberdashery box.

Oh, wow.

Lovely inside. Look at that.

The inside is...wow, stunning.

Look, Made in England. I always used to get excited

when I went round the boot fairs and I saw that sort of gold sticker.

My nan was really sweet.

This haberdashery box has got a treasure

of all of her knick-knacks still to this day.

Aw, there's the girl.

Oh, wow, she's gorgeous. My nan's got a picture.

That reminds me of your nan, that picture.

It really does, doesn't it?

I still remember my grandmother darning my grandfather's socks

and I've still got all of that in the box.

I can see it's like a little treasure,

but I would really love to bring the box back to life

so I can have it in my house for many, many years,

but still with her special memories inside. That would be wonderful.

I have a funny feeling that I step away.

Kerry's mine.

I just need to talk to her to find out what her style is. OK.

My tressoire at the top of the chateau

is a very special place to me.

It's not only where I craft,

but where I keep most of my precious things,

so it's the perfect place to chat with Kerry.

Hello, how are you?

We loved looking at your video

and actually I had a little tear in my eye

because I've got a very, very similar picture of my nan

in her military outfit,

sort of Second World War, looking remarkably similar.

It's like...

This is a box of complete treasures.

It needs to sing your nan.

It's still got her pantyhose repair kit inside.

I mean, it's just fantastic. I know.

There's another thing in here,

I don't really quite know what it is.

I think it's my grandad's from the military.

It's got my grandad's initials on it, and it's just a little pouch.

It's got a number on it. Dick, do you know that could have been?

That's probably his housewife.

Every soldier has to have their own needles and thread

to sort out their uniform. That'll be his army number on that.

That's so true.

Oh, I didn't know that.

That is really touching.

So the box has now doubled in size of memories.

Yeah, it has, hasn't it?

You're the sort of custodian of the box now

and I think, you know, you're going to put your mark on it.

I could really do with some help though. It's looking very sad,

and it has lived in the garage for about nine years.

I think what's really great about it, first of all,

the shape of the box is gorgeous.

You've got your elegant legs on there.

But are you up for just ripping that brown off and to see what we've got?

Yeah. I think we're going to end up covering it.

I just want to use it and not have it hidden away.

I feel like we've got a plan.

If we strip everything back, can you send me a picture?

Yeah. Yeah. It's one step at a time.

Thank you. Bye.

You love that box, don't you? I felt quite emotional

when she realised that actually that was her grandad's

and it wasn't just a pouch with her nan's stuff in.

Alisha's been working hard planting her potatoes...

...and perfecting her planters.

I am so chuffed with the way that looks for her.

I need to come and have a little look. Look at this.

Oh!

That's fantastic. Absolutely amazing. It's brilliant, isn't it?

Good for her.

She's got plastic greenhouses you put over a growbag.

They are exactly what she needs to sort of extend her season.

Great, I need to give her a call.

I'm very, very, pleased.

Hello, sweetheart. How are you?

Your beds... All right, it's a bit of graft, getting them altogether,

stripping down the pallets and doing it but how wonderful do they look?

Look how clever I am, look how clever I am!

You're doing so, so, so well. I love it.

I sort of did a bit of a plan, of your garden

and if I send that to you now

if you want to have a quick peek at it, yes,

we can talk through what we can do around the garden.

So, hold on while I just see about sending this to you.

Tell me when you can see it.

Your garden looks like that nearly already, kiddo.

It only happened because of work.

You know, the way you looked at it to begin with, you didn't know

where to start and you've got all the stuff around the place,

now, you can see what it's going to be like at the end.

Now, get back in the garden, get some more things planted.

Keep enjoying it. I'm loving your garden. Well done, you.

So lovely to talk to you. Take care. Bye.

Is she happy or what? Well done, Alisha.

A few days ago, I asked Kerry

to take her haberdashery box back to basics.

Now it's time to see how she got on,

and what's underneath that brown fabric.

I'm just going to start

taking off the fabric from around the sides of the box now,

and I am trying very hard not to rip the satin.

I don't quite know what I'm going to find

when I take it all off, but here goes.

This is the inside.

Oh, my goodness. They're cardboard.

It's completely."disintegrated.

It's come off pretty much in one piece.

It needed to go absolutely back to the bone.

She's just got a structure there now.

These are the side panels, perfect templates.

As you can see, hinges are still intact...

Great. ...which is perfect.

She's got it right back.

It is literally a rebuild job and it's going to be amazing

because of that.

I want to show Kerry how easy it is to upholster

any simple shaped box and once transformed,

I plan to fill this with memories too.

Kerry's box is obviously very different to this one,

but the principles of this will be the principles

that Kerry can use on her box.

I've got my faux suede.

It's robust but delicate enough to go on the box.

Inside, I rummaged through what I had

and actually I had this lovely satin.

First things first, I need to cover the outside,

so I need a piece of material that is the depth of this part of the box

with a little seam.

Then I've got my little hem down the edge, and off we go.

Right done.

Next, it's a case of stapling the fabric to the inside of the box

and cutting two T shapes at the back to make room for the hinges,

before feeding the rest of the fabric through.

Pull that for me.

Yeah. That's where I go down, OK. Look at that!

Did you do that on purpose?

What Kerry needs to do is to get her hinges into place first

and then she can staple the rest of the fabric in.

Tuck the corner so it's nice and neat. Yeah.

Honestly, if you can wrap a present, you can do this.

Now, this is Dacron.

I use it a lot for giving anything in upholstery a little bit of shape.

I am literallyjust going to go like that.

The top layer being the shape of the top of her box.

Simple as that.

And you can already see...

Oh, look, I'm starting to get a bit of a nice shape. OK?

Same principles - corners, a nice little tuck.

OK.

Right, this is my box.

Lovely. It looks nice and smart, doesn't it? It does.

Once Kerry's got her box done,

she's going to want to do something to the inside.

I've just covered cardboard, so I've got my top, my bottom,

my two sides, and my other two sides.

OK, so that's my top.

Little bit of glue.

You've got to work quick with the old glue gun. That's it.

When Kerry gets to this stage, she should have a big smile on her face.

But the most exciting thing is she's going to open it

and put all of her family treasures back in.

Things are gearing up here at the Chateau

as we get ever closer to Dorothy's birthday party.

Hello, hello. You all right?

I've headed to the kitchen to work on a very secret project -

icing Dorothy's cake.

Whoa, look at this blue!

Oh, my goodness me.

You can only do that for seven-year-old's party.

Imagine doing that for anybody grown-up!

Now, I'm going to take the top off of this

because I need my cakes to lay - or Arthur's cakes -

to lay completely flat.

All right, one, two, three.

That is not going to go to waste because that is lovely,

but actually having that flat cake

is going to make my life a lot easier.

Next, some inside butter icing.

If you give yourself a little bit of a circle with icing

when I put the top layer, if I didn't have that protecting it,

the jam would all go pfft.

And if you're icing the cake on the outside,

you don't want loads of jam.

I'm going to put it in the fridge and when it comes out,

this icing's going to be hard to touch,

so when I put the fancy icing on, it goes on a lot easier.

I'm not the only one who's been busy.

Kerry has been transforming her grandmother's haberdashery box.

What I have decided to do is use the Dacron,

around the box as well.

And then I'm going to put the fabric on top.

And Alisha has got truly stuck in with her new gardening passion.

We have black at the top, pink next to it, blue, yellow.

Just start down at the bottom.

Oh, Dick I'm so chuffed with that yellow. Good.

I've chosen colours to match Dorothy's shed

and will decorate with a slime inspired topper.

Do you know what? It's very our daughter 2021.

Is that real gold?

Yes, an edible one but it's quite a goopy one which is good.

Dorothy's birthday cake will be hidden safely

until the big reveal at her party.

And talking of reveals, I'm back in the garden for a final catch up

with green-fingered chef Alisha.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how far she got. Me too.

WQW!

They're not just any radish, they're Alisha's radishes.

Well done.

Beforehand, it was a yard.

Now...

...that's a really lovely garden.

All the way along the sides, you've got all the herbs.

The painting that's been taking place as well -

that's a really amazing change.

Well done. For me, it's another convert.

Your garden is phenomenal.

How much time did you spend in your garden four months ago?

Now it must be feel nice getting out there.

Oh, by the way potatoes - can I just show you my potatoes?

Alisha, a gardener and a chef - well done, you.

Well done, you.

See you, sweetheart. Bye. Bye-bye, bye-bye.

The thing about Alisha is she's realised she can do things.

To begin with, you know, it all looked like it was too much.

Well, actually, she's done it.

And she's not the only one.

So this is the haberdashery box on the outside.

I just need to do the inside.

Kerry asked me for help with her grandmother's haberdashery box.

It was full of memories but in need of a little TLC,

so I'm back in my tressoir to find out how she got on.

Fantastic.

Oh, Kerry must be absolutely delighted.

I think she went further than she thought she was going to.

She must be so chuffed.

All I need to do is add the memories back inside.

The first thing that I'm going to pop in is this little chap here.

This is my dad's very first teddy bear,

that's going to go in the box as well.

Housewife.

My nan's hatpin and lovely photograph of my grandmother.

What a transformation.

It looks like a box of complete treasures.

I've got to call her.

Hello! Hello!

Your box - oh, my...

I'm so shocked at it myself.

I can't believe I've done that.

There was this moment that you were sort of doing it

and the penny dropped that the gene hadn't skipped you.

And I could see the surprise all over your face.

I really love it. And there is no way I'm using it as a foot stool.

Have you still got your Made In England sticker?

Yes, I have. Will you take it off and put it on your box?

It was made in England, you know.

Ta-dah!

Made In England.

Made In England.

I'm thrilled and I know that my grandmother would love it as well.

Have you put all your trinkets in your box now?

I've got a few bits and pieces here.

This is hatpins that we made from the original wallpaper

from the Chateau that we had at our wedding.

This was my nan's. It's the only toy that she ever had in her house

and we all remember playing with it.

I'm going to I'm going to start a box of memories

completely inspired by you Kerry, so thank you.

Well, thank you as well. I've been inspired by you.

I would never have done this otherwise.

Take care. Bye-bye. Bye. Bye.

My project is also nearing completion,

thanks to the help from Mr Strawbridge.

Can you be a shed please?

I've been asked to do sillier things.

Working from the foundations up,

we set about building a unique shed for Dorothy.

Right, ten more. OK. Ten more. Or 20 more.

I wanted to give it a personal touch.

Come on. Put a little heart in it.

Put "Love, Daddy."

And with Dorothy's creative input,

her mermaid shed has finally been realised.

And now, joined by all the family,

it's time for the grand opening.

You ready?

# Da-da-da-da! #

Whoa!

She's gone. She's in.

What do you think, Dody McDuff? I love it!

Look behind you, what can you see?

We made these.

It's even been decorated with a few familiar items

inspired by your projects over the last few months.

From fabric...

...to flowers.

I've got the most beautiful bouquet

I could ever have hoped for on my wedding day.

Calendars...

Aw, doesn't it look fab?

...to crofts.

That's brilliant! Well done.

Summerhouses...

It looks fantastic.

...to speakeasies.

She completely nailed it.

Sashes to shoes.

Look at that!

It's been magnificent to see everyone's enthusiasm

as well as their readiness to give things a go.

And along the way,

I've even managed to build a wildlife pond for the Chateau.

Look there, what's that?

We've got a dragonfly on the pond. Yes!

Now all that's left is Dorothy's surprise slime cake.

Oh, that's perfect.

Dorothy, don't peek over your shoulder. No peeky!

ALL:

Yay!

And it's got all my favourite sweeties.

Hooray! Yay!

That's yours, Mummy. This is going to last me a week.

The idea is keep Grandad quiet for a while.

Mm!

It looked so good a moment ago...

Here's to birthdays.

Hear, hear! Here's to birthdays!
