Ruth has an idea, and Caroline enjoys some escapism.

Kenton wakes up at Hollowtree with a stonking hangover. Jolene has called and texted, worried, but he feels she shouldn't waste her time. Toby walks Kenton back to the Bull and morose Kenton reflects - he's sick of life, and sick of himself.

Caroline admires the herb garden at Grey Gables. She can't wait to be in Tuscany and will bring back some recipes for Ian. Jim's keen for the two of them to help him teach Christine some Italian. Caroline suggests they host an Italian themed dinner party for Jim and Christine. It would all enhance Chris's enjoyment of the opera at Lower Loxley.

Ruth returns from Prudhoe with a car full of stuff from Heather's. Ruth has a difficult phone call with Heather, whose neighbour in the care home has complained about her TV noise. Ruth gets frustrated. She feels torn - this is her life now. Ruth decides there's only one thing for it - Heather should come and live at Brookfield. David feels Ruth is exhausted and he explains why it wouldn't work. But Ruth's adamant - they're not letting Heather down again.

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