Lilian is on a spree, and the Brookfield Archers raise a glass.

Brian makes his feelings clear about Lilian staying at Home Farm. Lilian says Justin adores the Dower House, although she is certain that he needs more furniture. Lilian asks Brian to hurry today's board meeting so she can hit the shops with Justin. At the meeting, the board rally around Adam's no-till proposal. Brian says Adam emphasised the right point: profit.
At the department store, Lilian encourages Justin to test a mattress with her. He is less excited to be out shopping. Lilian says one way to put him in Ambridge's favour would be for him to buy the stage curtains. Justin concedes.
Jill and Shula tend to the bees, chewing over various village events. It's Elizabeth's birthday and her celebratory meal is to be held later. Apart from Dan it's going to be a full house of Archers! At the meal, Jill reflects that it is good to have everyone close at this difficult time for the wider family. They raise a glass to "absent friends". David toasts Elizabeth too, calling her Woman of the Year in this family. They also toast to the other Elizabeth - the Queen, on her birthday.

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