Darkly comic, heart-warming drama by award-winning writer, Christine Entwisle.

Toots is an octogenarian living unhappily in a care home. She wants more outdoor days, she wants her allotment back and she wants to see her chickens.

When Carol forces open Toots' window to relieve a hot flush and then forgets to shut it, Toots makes a break for it.
