Lynda takes umbrage, and there is a new beginning for Ed.

Kenton's excited about heading off for Australia, confident that Fallon can run things at the Bull.

Kenton plays Master of Ceremonies at the Bull's Shrove Tuesday events. George Grundy wins the pancake race. Jim and his SAVE comrades are there, armed with banners and petitions. The Borchester Echo and Radio Borsetshire are in attendance. Lynda's rather put out when Jennifer (aka the Boudicca of Borsetshire) gives her impassioned speech. Jim says let Jennifer have her moment - it's all good publicity.

Jim is also keen to know how Robert's doing with his tick chart, as their bird watching rivalry continues.

Mike tells Jennifer about his problems selling the house. Jennifer shares that Phoebe is staying on at Home Farm.

Ed's pleased to get a good price for his cows. He can now look to the future. Eddie believes Ed has done the right thing. Mike's pleased to get a cheque from Ed, and Eddie reminds him what fine looking beasts they've parted with.

Mike feels pulled in different directions, by Vicky and Beth on one side and the business on the other. Ed asks whether Mike really has to leave Ambridge. But Mike's adamant he can't change his mind. It would be like Ruth and David pulling out of moving. It's far too late now.
