Spring has sprung and it's time for a lively celebration down at the harbour. But Galatea doesn't seem to be getting into the spirit of things.

Whoops! Did Aristo forget to reserve the usual vantage point by any chance? At least Helena is popular, but not with her mother!

With spears and sandwiches packed we set off for Barbillus' country estate for a spot of hunting. Barbillus' astrologer though is in a flap because the stars do not bode well...

Crocodile-infested waters and humans don't mix. Barbillus should have stayed in bed!
