Up the road from the Cornwells, in Old Henford, a new family has moved onto the open land on Old Mill Lane...
Freddie Edwards got word from his parents that a Grandfather, estranged from the family had left a piece of land in Hob to be inherited. His parents already settled in their retirement home, decided to give it to their only son.
Unfortunately, Fred wasn't quite truthful to his wife Elizabeth about the full arrangements of this move. Aspiring Actress Liz thought they were going to moving to the countryside for a slightly quieter life from the city home but thought that by inheriting land...a country home would be included.
It was simply an unused piece of land in Fred's grandfather's ownership, but he never did build upon it. Freddie had to hire a carpenter to build a makeshift cabin for their arrival so they weren't totally houseless. This did not please Elizabeth one bit. No power lines had been connected to the lot, though running water thankfully ran through the property. But how can an aspiring Actress make it big with no power?! Freddie is going to have to work hard to invest in some power generators...
To make his wife happier, he had bought a shipping container just for her. Her own private getaway from the rural life she simply did not sign up for. A safe haven to practice her acting and modelling. Hopeful the Simstagram photos will be good enough with the lighting of her many candles.
The pair have no moved alone though! They came with their two children. Eldest daughter Olive, being the firstborn to Elizabeth, she's been brought up in her mother's image. And she certainly does not like it. Being forced into beauty pageants, pink dresses, and her mom trying to lead her into the world of Hollywood as well, Olive simply detests the girly girl aesthetic. She would much rather play footie with her dad or take her bike for a ride around the village. Will her mother ever listen to what she wants for a change?
And then there's little River. A young toddler who is none the wiser of his family's dilemmas.
