Shula reflects on the situation and Josh tries out his powers of persuasion.

David's trying to decide whether to cut the hay. He's still tense but tells Josh that they'll pick the new puppy up on Tuesday. He emphasises that it will be a working dog and not a pet. Josh wants to take a day off school to help David at the Three Counties Show. David says no. He's not worried about the show but he could do without Open Farm Sunday.

Shula and Caroline are out riding. Oliver's too busy planning next Sunday's puppy show to join them. Shula tells Caroline that nothing's improved with Elizabeth, and it's taking its toll on Jill. If Elizabeth carries on like this it could destroy the family. 

Lewis and Elizabeth discuss improving numbers and go over the planning for English Wine Week. Elizabeth also tells Lewis about Roy's innovative ideas for the falconry - which means keeping Jessica and the birds for another year. Lewis agrees with the plan. Elizabeth says that it's also an emotional decision to keep the falconry because Nigel loved it so much and Freddie likes it too. 

Lewis tells Elizabeth that Freddie seems to think that he's definitely going to see the puppy at Brookfield. Elizabeth says he's mistaken. She hasn't promised anything.

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