Will has an idea, and it does not take much to rile Pip.

Eddie gets an earful from Clarrie who doesn't think his repair of the crack in the kitchen wall at Grange Farm is good enough. She insists it must be done properly, immediately. Later, Will takes his mum Clarrie for lunch at The Bull. He suggests she, Eddie and Joe move to No 1, The Green when his tenants move out. Will is wary that this offer may look like a snub to his brother, Ed and his family. 

Ruth admires the work Bert has done on Jill's old hen house. Pip is wound up by Josh promoting his own interests over the family farm. Ruth soothes her; it's still early days since Matthew and Pip parted. Pip insists this is nothing to do with Matthew she just wants this year's Open Farm Sunday at Brookfield to be the best yet.

The Bull is putting together lunch boxes and luxury hampers for people to order for the weekend of celebrations for the Queen's 90th birthday. Amongst the work, Kenton continues to moan about Wayne and how distracted he must be by his new girlfriend Beverley Drains.

When Clarrie returns home she finds Eddie's work on the crack has made it look worse than before. Eddie mixed flour with the paint to get a posh, chalky finish but it went a bit lumpy. Clarrie thinks it's awful and can't think how Oliver and Caroline will be lenient with them when they see it.

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