Eddie treats Clarrie, and Charlie surprises Adam.

Joe suggests including ferret Adele in the birthday photo for Clarrie, along with the grandchildren. Eddie thinks giving Clarrie a framed picture will be a highlight of the party. He wants Clarrie to have a birthday to remember.

Pat's working extra hard in time for Friday's inspection, but encourages Clarrie to get off in good time for Eddie. Clarrie notices how busy Pat is, clearing all the dairy admin before starting on Tom's. Clarrie says Tom will come home when he's ready.

Joe tries to decide on his costume for the party - Eastwood or Brando? Meanwhile, Eddie experiments with his hair.

While out in the tractor, tetchy Adam is surprised to see Charlie. He insists he's doing what Charlie asked. Charlie has come to see how it's done. They get chatting about cricket. Adam invites Charlie to play in the single wicket but he ducks out.

At the restaurant for her birthday meal, Eddie has to persuade Clarrie to enjoy herself. Knowing how hard Pat and Tony are working, she doesn't want a hangover as she'll be alone in the dairy tomorrow. Eddie realises Clarrie isn't having a great time. She admits that turning 60 has made her look at her life. What has she achieved?

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