Apple Crumble

Having moved to London from Durham with his mum, Lenny finds his new environment somewhat scary and daunting. Matters are seemingly made worse when he spots the rather fierce-looking elderly neighbour, Mrs Portman, glaring at him from behind her dirty windows. Telling his mum, she is inspired to start a cleaning company and Lenny is persuaded to help his mum sort out the rubbish in Mrs Portman's pantry. There, the discovery of an old recipe book leads to Mrs Portman teaching Lenny how to make apple crumble, which he subsequently shares with his class at school the next day. The sequence of events helps Lenny to realise that things are not always as scary as they may at first seem.

Dupa ce s-a mutat la Londra din Durham impreuna cu mama sa, Lenny gaseste noul sau mediu oarecum infricosator si descurajant. Problemele se inrautatesc aparent atunci cand il vede pe vecina in varsta cu aspect destul de acerb, doamna Portman, privindu-l cu privirea din spatele ferestrelor sale murdare.
