Karl needs some me-time and decides to escape Auntie Norma for a holiday in the middle of nowhere. All he wants is to be left alone, but when the locals find out he's on his own they make a point of reaching out to him.

That means being pestered by his neighbour and having to shun a shop assistant's attempts to sign him up for anything from rambling to tandem mountain biking. With the cottage owner also sticking her nose in, it seems Karl will never get the peace and quiet he's after. Or will he?
