The Archers Mon 21st Mar 2011: Roy’s first day at Lower Loxley

  • Get thee to Brookfield
  • Jolene’s struggling to untangle old stems
  • Delegates, wine and bonnets (oh my!)
  • Fallon lays down the law
  • Two more have Johne's
  • He said the L word



Get thee to Brookfield

David isn’t coping with no longer being required at Lower Loxley.

Roy is straight in there, allowed by Elizabeth to use Nigel’s computer without any fuss, and had a grand first day being rather efficient.

David’s no a happy chappy, even though he should feel freedom!


Jolene’s struggling to untangle old stems

(which for me is rather an apt description of the tangled web her and Kenton and busy spinning)

Kenton helps Jolene trying to sort out the weeds from the flowers (which was normally Sid’s job). Funnily enough, Kenton isn’t much good at it.

What does that make it? 60-5 Sid V Kenton:?

Anyway, he and Jolene have a chat about Jamie’s reaction.

[Kenton] “There was no talking to him last night. He was just angry and bitter”

[Jolene] “I’m not sorry we got together, Kenton”

And while both agree they have no regrets,

[Kenton] “But, he’s a casualty”

And one which certainly isn’t going to let any wound be healed anytime soon.


Delegates, wine and bonnets (oh my!)

Roy is cracking on nicely at Lower Loxley.

The Conference is well under way.

He’s thinking ahead to who will judge the Easter Bonnet competition at Easter

(Emily Onslow – “that posh milliner” – should I know her?)

And he also sorts out the wine delivery.

Onwards and upward Mr Tucker!

Just mind on that Hayley has a really nasty temper. Take on Nigel’s’ mantle by all means, but not his missus.


Fallon lays down the law

(not literally. No idea if there are any nice Policeman around at the moment)

Fallon corners Kenton for a wee chat.

[Fallon] “He said some things, I need to know if they’re true … he said you’d had a girlfriend while he was living with him mum”

[Kenton] “It’s not true … well yes, I did have a fling ,,, but it was after I had moved out of April Cottage … I swear”

Hmmm. Kenton was right that he had moved out, but he hadn’t actually split up with Kathy. Which is what Fallon was really asking.

Kenton would be a fool to try and get one over on our Fallon. She’s certainly not afraid of mincing her words, or standing up for her mum.

[Fallon] “I mean you might be her reaction to losing him, for all we know”

(ouch!)

[Fallon, later on] “But it’s me who is going to be here for her, no matter how things pan out”

(MY mum)

[Fallon] “It’s taken me a while, and I don’t hate you like he does”

(ouch again!)

And after all that, Kenton still seems to think that Fallon will be his ally in helping to get Jamie back onside.

Possibly.

But I would keep as far away from Fallon, If I were him. Just the slightest wrong move …


Two more have Johne's

Oh bother.

Two more of Brookfield’s herd test positive, so:

[David] “we may have to see several of them go”

[Ruth] “standing about looking miserable won't get the yard scraped!”

Marvellous! Ruth just isn’t interested in David’s moping around anymore.

Later on, she has a go at him for both rushing over to Lower Loxley first thing (even though he wasn’t needed), and for leaving his hot soup and pork pies (oh aye!) to call Elizabeth to check if she’s okay.

[David] “Stop fussing!”

[Ruth] “She doesn’t need you anymore, but I do. Here. On the farm”

[David] “Ruth. She will always need me.”

[Ruth] “Oh, please! Time to move on!”

She outdoors has spoken.


He said the L word

[Kenton] “It’s one of the many things I love about her”

[Fallon] “Oh”

Cripes!

Maybe Kenton is actually serious, this time?
