“Hay, David’s getting ready to cut”
Was what the announcer said before today’s eavesdropping episode.
Must let him open the early sherry for the live Sunday experience …
New sheep dog for Brookfield
And David’s at pains to make sure Josh (and Ben) know it’s not a pet.
David bumps Shula
Shula seems to be having no luck with her siblings at the moment.
She clip-clops up to Josh and David, but David moves her on quick sharp (with the excuse that he and Josh need to do some halter training).
But Shula seems to be an oasis of calm while the rest of her family fall apart.
I suppose she’s been there, done that.
“Oliver is living and breathing hunt puppies at the moment”
AND he’s got a brand new panama hat.
Must be marvellous being Oliver, sometimes.
Who left the gate open?
That’s bad country code, that is.
Though, it’s just as bad country code to shut a gate you find open. The farmer could have left it that way on purpose.
Leave it as you find it …
Shula and Caroline
Obviously Caroline and Shula have many years between Mark’s death, but they are living proof of how friendship (and rationality) can rise above blame.
Shula often finds herself thinking about how Mark will never get older, and Caroline often thinks of Guy.
Neither are unhappy with their current chaps, but can’t help sometimes pondering what could have been.
[Shula] “That’s what’s so frustrating with Elizabeth … I understand so much of what she’s going through”
No appetite for Open Farm Sunday
Crickey.
David is indeed in a bad way.
At least Jill has the grandkids
Shula was telling Caroline that Jill is beyond distressed with the state of affairs between David and Elizabeth.
But Jill does take solace in her various grandchildren getting on so well.
Bodes well for the future.
But, then again, there’s plenty time for rivalries and fall-outs.
A delightful Canadian lady wants Lower Loxley wine
Good news for Elizabeth, and proves Lewis’ worth (the sale came from the free samples he was giving away at the gallery).
“Thank heavens. I haven’t let my heart rule my head”
Aye, so you are, Elizabeth.
She’s talking about the Falconry.
She was checking to see what Lewis thought she should do. Whether Roy was right that they should try at least another year.
[Lewis] “There’s no point in hiring Roy if you don’t trust his judgement on something like this”
Lewis has also looked at Roy’s figures, and reckons he’s right.
At which, Elizabeth is relieved. She’d actually already told Jessica that she could stay, after she saw her flying Hector.
[Elizabeth] “Thank heavens. I haven’t let my heart rule my head”
Hmmm.
Not so the case with how Elizabeth is dealing with David’s revelations.
And also not the case when it comes to Freddie wanting to go and visit Brookfield’s new puppy (doesn’t sound like she’s going to let him).
First half century of the season
By Alistair.
Well done, that man.
