The village of Frog End may be peaceful, but that doesnt mean that the Colonels life there is quiet not with his friendly but nosy neighbour Naomi, desperate to know what hes keeping in his new shed the curious Miss Butler, who tracks his every move with her German U-boat captains binoculars and the attentions of the local vicar, whos keen to involve him in church affairs. Thats not forgetting the demands of the aloof, imperious cat Thursday, who seems to have adopted the Colonel.So the Colonel is pleased when his old friend Geoffrey Cheetham invites him up to the village of Buckby for the weekend, to coincide with a RAF reunion event. After depositing an outraged Thursday at the Cat Heaven cattery, he drives up, and meets his fellow guests at the Cheethams BB including a Lancaster bomber crew, reunited for the first time.
