There is a problem at Hadley Haugh, and Pip is getting everyone organised.

With Justin snapping up the Brookfield property, Bert and Freda are worried about their tenancy of the bungalow - Freda's nerves can't take much more. Carol's supportive, reminding Bert he has rights and the law on his side.

Meanwhile, Jennifer's keen to get the Westbury Courier to help with her SAVE publicity - with other papers being unhelpful. She got the contact from Carol. Bert complains that the Courier wouldn't publish his poems. 

Carol admires Kate for getting onto her advanced diploma course. Jennifer met Carol's son Richard yesterday and Carol throws her by asking about it.

Kenton has big plans for his Brookfield money - as well as investing in his and Jolene's future, he'll also support Fallon's Tea Room business.

Pip arranges some farm visits with David and Ruth for this week and next. David's concerned about the extra cost they'll incur in coping with extreme weather once they've moved to Hadley Haugh. Pip remains keen to invest in a new system including robotic milking and new housing. In a private moment with David, Ruth remembers last year and her miscarriage. She admits that all their recent problems have made her feel down - they're getting through a lot of money - how much more are they going to drain away before they can move north?
