\u201cWhat a charming little place,\u201d she says as she enters the pub, and while some people look rather shocked to see her there, Mrs Hall (Anna Madeley) appears less surprised by her entrance.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you so much for doing this,\u201d she says, \u201cIt\u2019ll make the world of difference.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot at all,\u201d comes Mrs Pumphrey\u2019s response, \u201cI\u2019ve got a hamper in the back of the car, it\u2019s parked just in front.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTimes like these are about everyone coming together isn\u2019t it?\u201d she continues. \u201cI think it\u2019s wonderful everyone pitching in \u2013 I\u2019m sure you\u2019re going to have a great deal of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
