Pat is relying on Rob. And what would David's ancestors have thought?

Pat and Helen admire the black puddings at Bridge Farm - Clarrie has done a good job. When Tom tries to get Helen to taste some, she recoils and takes herself to the loo, with Pat following to see if she's alright. Helen snaps, telling Pat to stop fussing.
Brian seems to be in a good mood following last night and Jennifer raves about the new menu at Grey Gables. Pat and Jennifer discuss Helen, who Pat says hasn't been eating properly. Jennifer suggests it's just the pregnancy - but if Pat's worried she should speak to Rob, perhaps?
Ruth notes that Pip will miss Matthew, who starts his new job on Monday. David reflects on how different things were at Brookfield a year ago. As they prepare to sell the herd, their catalogue will be ready to send out in a week, so there'll be no going back then. David and Ruth look at the map as they start to plan which fields they want to sow down to grass for their new system. David is totally with Ruth with their new venture - there are exciting times ahead for Brookfield!

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