Bert is indulging in some garden therapy.

Bert is indulging in some garden therapy, and the Fairbrothers welcome their new house guests.

Toby tells David the egg-mobile fire has been confirmed as arson. Toby shows David around their replacement "hen palace" - the Fairbrothers' caravan converted to house hens! The problem is Toby and Rex have nowhere to stay. David shuts down the suggestion of them staying at Brookfield, but suggests the B & B. They bid good night to their hens and head off for another night in the tent. They can't afford the B & B - they have to save every penny they can.
Shula and Carol root around in storage for costumes for the pageant. Carol tells Shula about Bert's garden. After the egg-mobile fire, on top of everything else, Bert wonders if he is a magnet for disaster. Bert shows Carol the sketches for his garden. Hearing that Lynda's garden is to open on the Queen's birthday, Bert decides to open his then, too. David and Bert discuss their work with the Fairbrothers. Bert invites David in for a cup of tea, but Ruth needs David at the farm. David drives off and leaves Bert alone.

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