Nigel wasn’t a fan of the cull
It’s Trustee meeting time, and Stephen Maitland is first to wade in.
He seems like a really nice chap, but immediately singles out the rare breeds as a ‘drain’ on Lower Loxley.
[Elizabeth] “Nigel got very attached to the animals, he didn’t like letting anything go, especially anything born here”
But not to worry. David’s there (as per, rather than at Brookfield) to sort all out.
The rare breeds are to be cut by a third.
Ah. Nigel would weep.
Kate’s silence hasn’t brought her wisdom
She’s been back for a bit, but has so far kept herself away from the secret microphones.
But it couldn’t last.
And of course, Kate’s first act is to promise Phoebe without talking to Roy and Hayley first.
(Kate’s talking about seeing her kids on Skype, and missing her)
[Phoebe] “You’ve got me now”
[Kate] “Yes, it’s a pity I can’t have all three of you at once”
[Phoebe] “You could … I could come back with you at Easter … come on … you promised!”
And, of course, Kate says ‘yes’.
What’s more, Kate even managed to promised Phoebe that everyone else would pay for her:
[Kate] “I’m sure your dad and Hayley will help out … and your gran and granddad”
Hayley is going to be so pleased …
Elizabeth’s not for turning
Despite doing his best to keep bringing the conversation back to the sense in Elizabeth bringing in a professional manager, Stephen Maitland doesn’t seem to be winning her over.
[Stephen] “You can have good people, but you still need good leadership … keep the whole thing running smoothly can’t be easy … you’d benefit from having the support of a manager”
[Elizabeth] “Not worth taking the risk … not when I can do it the way that Nigel would want it done”
And Elizabeth wins through. The Trustees leave happy, and Elizabeth gets her way.
No professional manager.
She proudly tells David that they managed to win through – completely missing the fact that David actually wanted a manager to be brought in.
So who will David be brave enough to disappoint?
Elizabeth, in her hour of need.
Or Ruth. In her life of need …
Ellie Collins is a total turnip
So says Phoebe.
Is Hayley happy?
No she’s not.
Phoebe bursts in to tell Hayley about her wonderful plans to go to South Africa at Easter.
Hayley shocked. Then confused. Then furious.
[Phoebe] “You’re just trying to find problems …Why can’t you just be pleased for me. Kate wants me to go. So I am going. At Easter. And you better get used to it. And there’s no way you or Roy are going to stop me.”
[Hayley] “Thanks a lot Kate.”
And here we go. Again.
