Summary
Set after the 2022 Christmas special.
After her fall, Frances is sent back to the Mother House in Chichester to recover. The thought of leaving Poplar was daunting, but the promise of rest and a heartfelt reunion with a dear friend is keeping her from falling apart. Seeing Hilda again is the best Christmas present Frances could have asked for, though she can't help but long for Nonnatus at the same time.

Summary
When the going gets tough, Nonnatuns hide in Fred Buckle's allotment.
Here, Sister Frances finds the nerve to ask something that's been on her mind for a while. Brave and undeniably knowledgeable about Fred's latest discovery of buried treasure, she finds comfort in a forgotten hobby. Her past experiences bubbling to the surface as she seeks respite from the midweek blues.
(or Sister Frances and Fred have a little natter about mechanics and other things in the garden space, keeping each other company, while she avoids Nurse Crane's frustration.)
