Does 'Mum' know best? Clarrie tries to keep her house in order.

Eddie's building a shepherd's hut for Lynda. He insists to Clarrie that it isn't wonky, it's rustic. Ed's delighted that the Grundys are back at Grange Farm. However, he is worried that he is not allowed to take cattle on, due to his tenancy agreement. Adam encourages him to talk to Oliver about the terms of their tenancy. Johnny talks to Adam about his love of modern farming, which reminds Adam of a certain someone.
Ursula and Helen assess the midwife they met yesterday, whose advice seemed rather out-dated to Helen. Ursula suggests going back to basics at the birth. She and Rob think the baby should be born at home. Although Ursula defends the NHS, she reveals she does not like hospital births because her elder son nearly died. By contrast, she describes having Rob at home as "joyful". Henry's boisterous when he gets in from school, which takes Helen aback. It's down to the chocolate Ursula keeps giving him. Helen's confused because the midwives are saying one thing about the birth, and Ursula another. Rob says that Helen must do what she wants to do.
