Jim enjoys an afternoon out, and Jazzer loses his rag.

Nic enjoys helping with the church flowers and agrees to help Clarrie with her arrangement for the flower festival. Clarrie invites Nic to church one Sunday. She's sure she'd get a lot out of it and the children could go to Junior Church. Nic agrees to give it a try.

As Jazzer helps Tom move the sows, he gets a call from his ma and rushes off to help sort out a problem.

Jim takes Jill for afternoon tea. The drive is what Jill needs to blow the cobwebs away. She hates to see the friction between David and Pip. Jim reminds her it's part of the growing-up process - for both of them. On the way home they come across some of Tom's pigs in a lane.

Roy assumes Jazzer's to blame but Tom admits it was his own fault. He must have forgotten to switch the electric fence back on. Jazzer points out that Tom would have been furious if he'd done that. He thinks Tom's head's full of ready meals and he's losing touch with reality. Tom knows Jazzer's right. He's not concentrating, and can't stop thinking about Brenda. Roy confirms that she's not going back to Tom, who acknowledges that it really is over.

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