Matt is precious about his delphiniums
Brian arrives early for a meeting with Matt, to find him gardening.
Not sure why Brian was surprised (and though Matt’s gardener was off sick) – doesn’t everyone know that Matt discovered a passionate for horticulture when he was in prison?
And boy, is he particular about his garden. His gardener seemingly does not impress him:
[Matt] “the lawn would better is he was (off sick), he practically scalped it yesterday. I’m not trusting him to stake the delphiniums”
(on seeing Brian’s surprise at Matt’s gardening knowledge:
[Matt] “I picked up a bit when her majesty insisted on giving me bed and breakfast, it passed the time”
Matt says he appreciates the “discipline” of gardening. It helps him keep his end in order.
Jonti moved in
To No.3
But we didn’t get to hear it. Or him.
Matt hasn’t really got much to say about him either:
[Matt] “Well, he hasn’t got two heads or a saxophone”
Can No.3 be heard at the Dower House? Or does Matt actually care for no.3’s neighbours.
“There’s far too much romantic tripe around”
So says Brian.
(I never saw tripe as being romantic. Each to their own, I suppose).
He’s complaining that Jazzer and Harry have been calling (separately) to speak to Zofia (as she’s picking fruit at Home Farm).
Wonder who will buy her a mobile phone first?
Penny Marsh! tut, tut
Matt reveals his source at the Council – it’s Penny Marsh, who is on the development subcommittee.
How terrible of Ms Marsh.
(and I have never heard of Penny Marsh before but she sounds like a bad public servant)
Matt’s arranging a meeting with Penny Marsh and Brian (and Annabelle):
[Matt] “The BMD team want to tap her on the head, to see if she rings true”
Kenton and Jolene exploring the fleshpots of Borchester
They have a day off together, so are in the car about to head to Borchester.
But, Kenton isn’t on best form.
He’s having a stressful time at Lower Loxley (Elizabeth crazy angry), with him mum (Jill is very upset) and David (not wanting to even be around him).
So, Jolene spots that he’s not a happy chappy, and takes him back inside to slob around (her words).
[Kenton] “It’s like we’re never going to be able to move on. Remember Nigel properly”
[Jolene] “Haven’t we got passed having to entertain each other?”
Oh no.
That’s not good.
It’s surely not time already for them to not make an effort anymore? To not be pretty, or even pretty smelling, for each other?
Slippery slope. Once you stop brushing your hair, the bed death will set in shortly …
No Brookfield Open Farm Sunday?
David still isn’t looking forward to Open Farm Sunday.
[David] “It’s just pretending to be jolly for the visitors”
Pip reckons they actually don’t have to do it. They could try and pass it onto another farm.
Will the world be the same without a Brookfield Open Farm Sunday?
Kenton might move his toothbrush in
And his underwear. His records. His dodgy shirts (which I always imagine he wears).
Jolene has asked Kenton to move in with her (and Fallon, actually) at The Bull.
[Kenton] “I’d love to. This … being with you … it feels like home. It’s where I want to be”
Yay! And Jolene knows what she’s getting into. She would seemingly love to try putting up with him.
But wait … there’s an Elizabeth shaped brick wall in the way.
Kenton wants to move in, but he can’t leave Elizabeth with all of the David fall-out happening.
Boooo.
