At Château du Puits Es Pratx, the wedding bells are practically ringing. Sasha is in a race to complete her glass work, while Tim struggles to finish his infamous barrel project. Will they make it in time for the big day? Meanwhile, DIY novice Trish, nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees, takes on a spare bedroom makeover before her guests arrive. It’s a classic case of ambition versus experience, and the results could be either disastrous or delightful.
