BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 03/10/2014

Ruth makes a suggestion, and Phoebe talks to Hayley.

Jill gets some new bee gloves for her birthday. David insists she's to stay away from kitchen duties. They've hired Fallon for that, and she proves a hit as party organiser. Kenton gets out his musical party hats and gets Jill to wear one.

Ruth struggles to relax. She hopes Eddie is ok with the cows, but is more worried about her mother, telling Jill about Heather. Jill sympathises with Heather wanting to stay in Prudhoe. She'd feel the same if faced with giving up her home and independence.

Phoebe tells Hayley she has nothing to say to her dad. Hayley becomes increasingly concerned and wants to know what's wrong. Phoebe eventually tells Hayley she knows about Roy and Elizabeth. She shocks Hayley by revealing that, according to Freddie, it has been going on for months. Hayley thought it was a one-off.

Thinking about Heather, Ruth broaches with David the idea of selling Brookfield. David can't bring himself to imagine walking away from everything they've built up there. And surely Jill wouldn't cope with the upheaval. As Jill blows out her candles, Ruth quietly tells David she can't see another option.
