Alf is down on his luck. His wife has left him, hes been made redundant and now hes been forced to live with his son and daughter-in-law. Hes also a bit of a layabout and much to her annoyance, seems reluctant to find a job and somewhere else to live! He has though, joined a local conservation group called The Friends of Dogwood Common, but is he really community spirited or does he have an ulterior motive? Only time will tell.
