French Fields

Misunderstanding French ways lands Hester in a French jail, then misjudging the local speed limit as he drives to her aid gets William arrested. Hester's only hope is son-in-law Peter and his night course in French law.

Hester lends a hand with a coach tour for British buyers of French homes while William has plumbing worries.

Emma's in-laws arrive unexpectedly for a visit, and the Fields look for any excuse to get out of town. When their camping trip somehow lands them in Paris, they realise they shouldn't have bothered.

The Fields's 25th anniversary is approaching, and William is determined to throw Hester a surprise party.

Hester runs afoul of the mayor when she tries to discipline his daughter, while William has problems with his own, Emma. Hester tries to explain the concept of fair play by explaining the rules of cricket.

William learns that getting fired in French sounds just the same as it does in English. The Fields know they can always go back to England if the worst comes to the worst, which it does when they learn who's renting the farmhouse next door.
