S01E22 – Hayley Loses Her Phone

Hayley is late for work because she has misplaced her phone… somewhere in the house.

It’s the early hours of the morning, and Hayley’s family are woken suddenly by a fire alarm… that they didn’t know they had.

This morning, we say thank you to all of our first responders.

S01E24 – Giant Gardeners

Hayley tries to grow a vegetable garden on the weekend with lots of impatience and little success. Jake only knows how to grow things by the hectare, with lots of tractors.

S01E19 – Hayley Wins a Blue Ribbon

It was Hayley’s dream. Put Grazer in a pink saddle and win the dressage event.

Hayley wins a blue ribbon – just not how she planned.

A mysterious white cow is roaming the streets after dark, appearing from the fog, munching on roses and leaving some very suspicious clues behind.

S01E17 – The Sheep Rustlers

Jake’s Dad is looking for some sheep to mow the lawn under the clothesline, and is offered a deal so good he can’t turn it down… from a guy at the pub.
