Philip springs a surprise and Lynda is at her wits' end.

Lynda’s at her wits’ end with a tricky Grey Gables guest. She feels as though this week’s been one disaster after another. When Lynda tries to talk to Freddie, he doesn’t want to hear her apologies. He’ll tells Lynda he’ll lose his job if her rumours get back to Oliver, and leaves before she can offer an explanation.
Pip tells Ruth how upset Ben will be if they don’t buy him a car. Ruth explains that they’re already at the limit of their overdraft. Later, Ruth has been comforting Josh after his outing to the market went badly. People only stopped to jeer at him.
Philip has managed to rearrange his work schedule, so that he and Kirsty can have their weekend away. He’s booked a cottage in Devon and explains that the reason he as being shifty earlier in the week was because he was sussing out a wedding venue. On recommendation from one of Kirsty’s colleagues, he’s found a place called Vinders Knoll, a roundhouse on top of a hill. They visit, and Kirsty thinks it’s perfect for them. It’s a done deal.

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