George feels left out and Alistair tries to reassure David.

Alistair takes blood samples from the herd. He tells David and Ruth that poor husbandry isn't always the cause of Johne's disease but Ruth reminds David recently he put off the repairs to the calf shed. David thinks that's unfair and insists he had to spend time with Elizabeth but Ruth argues that she couldn't do everything herself. 

George is getting under Emma's feet as she makes room for the baby's things. She doesn't know how they'll manage for space, and wishes Clarrie wasn't coming round next Sunday for lunch. Ed thought she'd be pleased with the chance to get one over on Nic. 

Alistair sees Jamie and Marty swigging cider on the green. He invites Jamie over to the Stables to hang out with Dan whenever he likes. Jamie's non-commital. Marty's step-dad is giving him grief about finding work for the summer but Jamie's not going to bother. It's a waste of time, especially as no-one gives a damn about him.

David and Alistair meet for a pint. David can't really think straight until he's got Nigel's inquest behind him. Alistair understands how he feels but thinks it will help both him and Elizabeth in the long run.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
