Four And Twenty Blackbirds

Granny and Boris are tempting fate, and somebody needs to eat all the pies!

With Penelope's magic shop moved onto dry land, and a pie-eating competition in Wickford -- there's plenty of fun to be had by the Weaver family and their friends.

When Barney stumbles upon a body in Granny's spare bedroom while investigating an arson, somebody needs to make him forget what he saw before the witchy secret of the Weaver family is exposed. Not Granny of course - she's still suffering from witch dementia.

There's only so many spells a ginger haired policeman can take in one day, though, and Penelope is forced to make a decision which will see her and Barney become closer, and the rest of her family accept that secrets can't last forever.

When Uncle Brian bursts onto the scene in a fabulous display of magical prowess, Granny is happy to have her first born at home again, and is even happier when her oppressed son decides to set up a business in Wickford.

With Boris the goat emotionally scarred by a vet's attempt to take his temperature, and Granny trying to leave the working class behind, Penny is happy she can finally visit the magical haven for some downtime, where she discovers something about herself which she never saw coming.

Fate leads to the discovery of a magical artefact which exposes a secret about Boris and helps Granny with her posture, and with a murder to solve too, it's a busy time in Wickford for all!
