David and Ruth go off on a farm visit to see their grazing system. They're impressed. They agree that they started off down the same route but never followed it to its natural conclusion. The reason - Sam - is unspoken. They're both keen to do it now - including the 'block' calving. Meanwhile David is worried about the harvest - Adam doesn't seem to be making Brookfield a priority. 

Teams are being put together for the Roundheads versus Cavaliers tug-of-war at the fete. Joe and Mildred have a lovely day out, wandering around a rose garden. They are enjoying each other's company very much indeed. 

Clarrie and Eddie come home from their week's holiday in Torremolinos, courtesy of Will's inheritance. They've had a fantastic time, but Joe has to tell them that Ed and Fallon have split up. Clarrie is very upset. She's extremely fond of Fallon, and knows how good she is for Ed. Ed tells her there's nothing anyone can do about it, so there's no point going on.
