Helen is torn. Meanwhile, David is feeling the strain.

Having returned form Northumberland, David reports that Heather's quite frail - although her spirit's still up. Despite Heather's protestations, they aren't just moving north for her sake. The order has been placed for the robotic milkers and they've worked out more details about the new operation at Hadley Haugh. Pip's excited.

David anticipates being ready to move in June. But he's tetchy when Shula presses him for a rough date, so she can make her own plans for the stables.

Pip's delighted that Jill has cleaned up the old Brookfield Dairy milk bottle. Pip takes a photo for Jennifer to put on the village website. 

Jill and David also discuss Matt. The 'weasel' hasn't just dumped Lilian. He's stripped the Dower House bare, and cleared the bank accounts.

Pat and Helen chat about Johnny, who's clearly a hit with the girls but not so confident with his academic work. Pat steers the conversation to the shop. They seem to have a long term problem to sort out. Pat encourages Helen to get back in there to manage things.

But Rob tells Helen to put herself first. She's such a perfectionist that the shop will take over her life. Helen agrees - Rob knows her so well.
