Season 2 Ep 1

We start the day with Mr (Very Aggressive) Swan trying to get our attention. He taps on the boat, pulls at the cratch cover and generally, we will not leave us alone. This is all our fault as we feed him yesterday when he brought Mrs Swan to see us with their beautiful babies. Yes, we were suckered in by the babies. He eventually leaves and we vow not to feed him again. Glenn goes to see Jeff, and help him and Liam put up a new shed.
