Molly wants a porch to avoid getting on each others nerves in the rain.
Dex, Herbie, Hesta and Molly put a dampener on using an umbrella even if it is pink as Daph requests.
The holly tree is too prickly and NOT waterproof, the pine tree needles spikey and Hesta issues a mega WARNING about sheltering near any tree there are few alternatives.
Herbie can hope that the lady in the little house has swung out and NOT the man.
Don wishes he did NOT suggest travelling to Monmouth via the river as he has to make many paddles.
It is NOT plain sailing as the donks worry about the condition of the logs for their canoe boats Dex just wacks them in two or three chunks and Hesta wrenches out coins.
Soon, the donks have several ladybirds to contend with on their precarious journey downhill Dex feels second fiddle to a bug!
The cash flow is bad as Uncle Herbie is a globe trotter, a log and leg puller.
Hesta tells the donks they must get a job, but Molly is NOT marketable she yawns, won't wear high heels or dye her hair or wear low cut blouse while Fran will NOT do a technology job and jeopardise her health. Herbie agrees and doesn't rate couch potatoes.
A woodpecker or is it a woodcarver, offers some jobs such as tea donk, sawdust donk, strong donk, text donk; but Herbie is forces to take a backseat until wooden balls are pelted! Why?
Molly is offered the luxury of some new drapes as Fran has sold donk poo in a glass bottle as a souvenir but she rejects material made from crumples leaves and chemicals does she opt for them to be hung with nails?
Or covered in donkeys?
Hesta gives up counting rings on a tree stump with Claire's spare magnifying glass as Hope hedgehog has a snooze.
Although Molly is fairly ancient like the hedges who require walking sticks and a telegram from the Queen she doesn't let Dex guess her age smiling
