There’s a sad goodbye in Ambridge, and things go from bad to worse for the Grundys.

Clarrie, Eddie and Emma are all worried about Ed, particularly when the grazing fields are still water-logged.  There won’t be anywhere for the ewes and lambs to go.  Emma explains that she’s asked Oliver for details of Miles’s solicitor to ask if they can temporarily use the land for grazing.  Eddie says they should use it anyway, but Clarrie advises waiting to hear what the solicitor says.  Emma discusses the Tearoom mentioning that Rebecca from The Echo will be coming back next week with her photographer to do a write up on the Tearoom.  Emma feels bad about how critical she and Fallon were about the music.

Adil greets Lynda in Grey Gables’ new foyer while Robert drops off their bags in the room.  Adil thinks there’s no-one better to test Grey Gable’s first day than the Snells, whose stay is on the house.  Lynda admires the new-look Grey Gables and Adil confirms that he’s leaving today.  Lynda bumps into Azra in the Spa Rooms remarking how spacious and comfortable their room is.  They chat about Adil and Azra mentions that she’s taking over Adil’s allotment while he’s away.  Lynda offers to help there with Robert.  Later Azra catches Adil as he’s packing his car.  He tells her he’s going to his grandfather’s farm in Rawalpindi and he’ll stay with Azra’s husband Akram.  When Azra points out that’s news to her, Adil explains he’s going to surprise Akram too.  Azra and Adil say they love each other, and Adil shares he’ll be back when his next project comes in.

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