It would be like the war all over again and Peggy's been so happy to be able to draw herself away from that life. "If you need any help, give me a shout," she says, already deciding. "I imagine that if we do run into a winter, it might even be a nice thing to do through the cold days."

Better than sitting inside a house going stir-crazy and mad without anything to do.
