popping up every year. Most of the flowers that we buy in the season are all locally grown. And we also plant a tree for every single purchase as well, when anyone purchases anything. So, we are trying to improve our own impact on the environment. - That's wonderful. (uplifting music) I'm certainly impressed with Clare's eco-friendly efforts, and I've jumped in the saddle myself to help deliver a touch of the countryside to some of her customers. Now this is fun. Around 60 of Clare's bouquets are delivered by bike every week. After each making our own drop-offs, we are meeting back up for the penultimate drop, (door knocker knocks) which is one of Clare's regular clients. Hi, Jennifer. - Hello. - [Nicki] Hello. One flower delivery for you. - Thank you. - [Nicki] Your beautiful bouquet flowers. - Aren't they wonderful, thank you so much. How lovely. - What difference does it make to you, having them delivered by bike? - It was very, very important, because I wanted English flowers, as far as possible, and that was something that Clare said she would try and always do, and also the fact that they're delivered by bike, we try to be green, and that's what attracted us to Clare and her shop. - We're gonna carry on, we've got one more delivery to make. Enjoy your flowers. - Will do, I'm going to arrange them. - [Clare] Have a nice night. - [Nicki] Well, while we leave Jennifer with her beautiful blooms, I'm wondering if any of our offerings have grown on our intrepid house hunters. Well, I've thoroughly enjoyed the last few days showing Kallum and Kate around Cambridgeshire, but even more so after yesterday, because the mystery house went down so well. Am I feeling quietly confident? I think so, but let's see what they've got to say. (tranquil music) How are you feeling? - [Kallum] Yeah, pretty good. - [Nicki] Yes? - Yeah, long, long chats last night and this morning. Still umming and ahing, but excited. - Yeah, I think you gave us a lot to think about, kind of, three very different properties. - So, out of the three, to me, there was one clear winner. Would I be right with that? - [Kate] Yes. - But I think we sort of, both got a bit blown away by number three, so. - [Kate] The mystery house, yeah. I think it just had everything we wanted from the off, but also the possibility to, kind of, add our own touches, as well, so, it was a good combination. - So, it's all sounding brilliant, but I've gotta put you on the spot, because, are we gonna go and see the barn again? Are we that serious we're gonna put an offer in? We're desperate to know. - Absolutely, we're definitely gonna see it again and I'm sure there'll be a cheeky offer in there as well. - [Kate] Yeah. - Really? Well that sounds fantastic. - Yeah, very exciting. - Oh, my goodness, cheeky offer, I'm really liking the sound of that. This has been an absolute delight, showing you around Cambridgeshire. We, obviously, are very excited, we're gonna keep everything crossed, but do let us know how you get on. - Absolutely, and thank you so much for your help. It's been great. - Yeah, really appreciate it. - [Nicki] You're very welcome. - [Kallum] Thank you. - [Nicki] Thank you. (uplifting music) What a glorious day to be ending our house hunt, here in Cambridgeshire. We're by the water, the sun's shining, the sky is blue, and we're surrounded by gorgeous countryside. For Kate and Kallum, this move represents going back to their childhood. They were both brought up in the country and that's the life they want right now. Also, for the first time, they can buy a property that isn't dictated by work and its location. And it does sound like our mystery barn may be their future new home. We are keeping everything crossed. So, that's it from me, I'll see you again very soon. (uplifting music) Kate and Kallum did revisit our mystery house, but ended up putting an offer on an old Cambridgeshire farmhouse with outbuildings in need of work. We wish them the very best of luck with their country move.
