Is Brookfield all set for change? Jolene is making an effort for Lent.

Jolene gives up coffee for Lent, but Kenton refuses to give anything up. Kenton's disparaging about Wayne's bread rolls and Wayne's plans to build the entire Mother's Day menu around them. Jolene confronts Kenton over his jealousy, and he reluctantly admits that Wayne seems to be a success... but he is only temporary, isn't he?
Kirsty tries to call Helen but Ursula picks up instead. Ursula promises to pass on a message, but when Helen asks if anybody rang, Ursula replies "only Tom". Helen decides she wants to head into town. Kirsty has offered to chauffeur her around if she wishes. However, Ursula steps in to take Helen for her scan on Wednesday and then to the shops - so she needn't bother Kirsty.
On a walking tour, Jill and Carol admire the gardens of Ambridge. They bump into Kirsty who tells them she was going to see Helen but Ursula advised her not to disturb her. The cows arrive on the fields of Brookfield - it's all change. Jill just hopes David and Ruth are doing the right thing.

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