Beryl and Sandra bump into each other at a slimming class, but it isn't until Sandra and her mother advertise for a tenant to share their house that Beryl turns up on the doorstep and history begins to repeat itself. Now they're back together, bruised by what life has offered them and refusing to admit to middle age.
