AN ACCIDENT PUT ESMÉ IN THE HOSPITAL IN SWITZERLAND..
Footage of the scenery around the DPD van. Drone shots of the local town. For Creepy there's nothing like getting out of his van in the morning and seeing the tallest freefall waterfall in Switzerland outside his door.
I don't know about you, Tattlers, but on a cold winter's day I like to get up, put on my warm dressing gown, get a cup of tea and watch telly in my lovely warm living room before work. I couldn't think of anything worse than waking up freezing cold to look at a waterfall that isn't really a waterfall at the moment.
Lazy and Jace are at the toilet block looking for a bath. She tells Jace to wait by a cubicle whilst she goes to look for it. The 'bath' is nothing more than a glorified sink so after weeks of washing in the DPD van sink, Jace will feel right at home. Lazy fills the 'bath'. Jace is chatting away in the background. He's been having to have showers until now. After the bath, Lazy tells us they've been talking about Christmas and advertises his Instagram gifted top. His hair needs to be dried and brushed so Isabelle is going to babysit him whilst Lazy goes and has a shower.
Isla has just got out of the shower. She fell because the shower was so strong. She brushes her hair whilst telling us she and Esme are going to the park. Creepy is also in the shower so Lazy calls out to Babe that she has the hair brush. S
haring a hairbrush, how chavtastically gross. The best thing about being on the campsite for Lazy is by far the spacious showers. She laughs about the van and Esme's sliders. She tells us she'll never get used to the view. They've all had showers or baths and are checking out in an hour. Isabelle is babysitting Jace and Mila at the van. There is one more stop before heading home.
The Inghams have made a detour to the hospital because Esme has cut her finger whilst cutting an apple. Lazy is giddy and trying to hide her excitement at this glorious clickbait. Lazy asks Esme why she doesn't just bite into the apple like "normal people" do. Esme says she likes to check there's no worms in it.
Oh sweetie, finding a worm in your apple is the least of your concerns whilst sharing a van with your disease ridden parents. It didn't hurt at first, she saw all the skin and then she started crying. Lazy shows us the cut, poking, prodding it and zooming in so we can see the fat.
Esme and Lazy are checked in and waiting to see a nurse. Lazy thinks it will just need gluing. After seeing the nurse it's determined that she's unsure if anything need doing with it, maybe one stitch. It's started to heal in the last half hour. Lazy think they'll stitch it.
Esme and Lazy are now in a room waiting for the doctor. Lazy asks her daughter "what are your bets on?".
What are your bets on? WHAT ARE YOUR BETS ON? Lazy if you ever find me injured by the side of the road or whatever, please just leave me to die. I'd rather face take the ultimate fate that take your medical advice. Lazy tells us the doors slide open and it's cool.
The nurse comes in and Lazy introduces herself and Esme. There is a note onscreen saying they got permission to film. Priorities. Esme explains what happened. Brain Surgeon Lazy tells the nurse she's unsure if it needs stitching or gluing. Esme says the finger doesn't hurt now and Lazy tells the nurse the bleeding stopped quickly. The doctor has a lot of patients but will be there asap.
Creepy The doctor has arrived and asks Esme what happened. The doctor asks where they're from. Lazy decides not to say Seacroft and instead tells him England. The doctor determine Esme needs a stitch and Lazy tells him his English is good when he asks. She tells Esme to look at the nurse's socks. Then she tells Esme she'll need an injection of anaesthetic to numb the finger. The doctor says they'll see.
Lazy sounds thrilled at the sound of Esme having stitches. Esme asks if it'll hurt but Lazy doesn't think so. The doctor doesn't want to give the anaesthetic because it may hurt as much as the stitch and there's no point if she only needs one stitch. Esme doesn't want the anaesthetic. Lazy give us "one last peek" at the injury and says the doctor told them they did the right thing bringing Esme in. Esme says she's never cutting an apple again. Music plays as the doctor stitches the wound. I should point out that the NURSE is the one holding Esme's hand whilst Mother of the Year films.
Esme says it was painful when the doctor put the needle in and Lazy laughs. The finger is bandaged up in the next shot and Lazy has got some spare bandages. The doctor shows Esme a Mr Bean clip on his phone from the episode where he's a surgeon.
The Inghams are back at the van Lazy praises the staff. The doctor told her to get his best side. She tells us all about the Mr Bean clip whilst Jace is screeching her name. She turns around, says he loves Mr Bean and then carries on talking whilst he's still calling for her. Jace and Mila have caused chaos in 30 minutes and are out of their car seats. Everyone's car seats need to be fixed back in and they need to get back on the road.
Driving footage. Shot of Obernofen Castle. In the next shot they're in a queue to get on a train with other cars because Creepy took a wrong turn. In the clip after that they're in front of a no entry barrier because Creepy didn't know the road was closed. They've come all this way for nothing.
It's been a long day thanks to Esme. Esme apologises but Lazy tells her not to. They were driving to "glacier, amazing lake" but they kept getting lost. Due to heavy snow being forecast the road is closed. The map said it was a 1 hour and 40 minute trek so for them it would've been 2 1/2 hours. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't going to be -2 tomorrow. Lazy doesn't think it would be fair on Jace or Mila.
But it was ok to drag them 10,000ft up a mountain? They've decided to head home.
Creepy says the glacier will have to wait until the summer. It will look better in the summer in lush greenness and so he can take a "wild swim" in it. Now it's time to take the mammoth journey home. Everyone is almost asleep. The plans went kaput and it wasn't meant to be.
