There’s light at the end of the tunnel for the Grundys.

There’s light at the end of the tunnel for the Grundys, and Susan stirs the pot.

Susan and Clarrie read the article in The Borchester Echo promoting the Tearoom and Dairy.  Adam turns up to have a refresh of the dairy in preparation for covering when Helen goes on holiday.  Susan’s nose is put a bit out of joint and she tells Adam that they’ve held the fort before.  Adam explains he’s just going to observe them.  When he compliments them on their work, Susan takes the opportunity to put some streamlining ideas his way, much to Clarrie’s irritation.  Afterwards Adam suggests going for a drink at The Bull where Burns Night is being celebrated.  Susan pushes Clarrie into having a whisky even though she doesn’t want one.  Whilst Adam’s at the bar, Susan thinks they might have a bit of fun with Adam while Helen’s away.

Ed and Eddie get ready to herd the Texels to the cricket ground. Ed wonders if it’s such a good idea after all – they haven’t got permission for the sheep to be there.  Brad arrives to help Eddie and Ed, while Emma and Mia are waiting in position further on.  Things get tricky at St Stephen’s church when a ewe and her twins head for the church porch whilst there’s a funeral on.  But they manage to move them on and successfully reach the cricket ground.  The experience has made Ed make up his mind about the tree surgery business.  He just needs to get some money for the equipment by selling the new rams in August.  Ed feels luck might be coming his way.

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