Camper Vans, Crap Cooking & Crystal Chandeliers

On this week’s Midweek Catchup, Karen returns from her Hebridean holiday – campervan, cow traffic, and all – and declares herself a far superior driver (Stephen’s bruised knuckles may disagree). Meanwhile, Kaye faces the emotional landmine of letting go – almost – of her late mum’s chandelier, dad’s favourite chair, and that ugly-but-meaningful desk… all for the Yorkshire Auction House.

Plus: why Kaye’s poached eggs could double as weapons, and the moment she had to place a jumbo salt tub on the dinner table.

Whether you're downsizing, free camping, or trying to impress the neighbours with wild salmon (don’t), there’s something here for everyone who knows this chapter of life is never dull.
