Court on Friday
Jamie gets off the phone from a very worried and upset Marty.
Steve’s been charged with taking a car without permission, no insurance and driving over the limit.
Marty has been charged with letting himself be carried in a vehicle taken without permission (or something along those lines).
Marty doesn’t seem to be blaming Jamie for telling the truth to the Police. But he is terrified about what might happen next.
[Kathy] “At least, well, I can’t see him doing it again in a hurry”
Quite right indeed.
Wonder how much of a big man Steve is going to feel in court. Spencer reckons he’s trying to play the wee kid at home – hiding in his room, hoping it will all go away, while his parents fret.
Good lamb!
So reckons Pip. She tells David that he’s done such a good job over the years that she’s spoilt for choice when she had to select two good ones for showing at the Borchester Show.
David also sounded a bit chirpier – and took Pip’s compliments without snorting.
How long before Elizabeth spoils his mood again.
“Your mum said you were giving the lambs a blow dry”
And that’s why I love Ambridge.
That Pip was blow drying the lambs is normal.
That Pip’s boyfriend, Spencer, doesn’t blink when he’s told what Pip’s doing.
And that wee lambs get to be pampered (well … before they are taken to … ahem … you know …).
Eddie trims toenails!!!
I still wake up in cold sweats at the thought of Clarrie having to clip Joe’s toenails.
And what do I learn tonight?
That Eddie has trimmed Pip’s lambs’ toenail “to perfection”.
Goodness sake, Eddie.
Pull your toenail clippers out at home!
Drought? What drought??
It’s always naff having to listen to someone else moaning about a lack of rain, when you’ve got far too much.
Still. My own fault for living in the West of Scotland. And my bit of Scotland tends to be warmer and dryer than most others.
Anyhoo – Spencer’s wheat seems to be okay, and they might even harvest early.
Phew!
Changing my mind about Natalie …
Maybe Natalie just really needed her caravan weekend.
She seems far more interested and caring about Jamie today.
Jamie certainly seems to have calmed down. Though worried about having had to “rat” on his mates to the Police, and now having to possibly be a witness in court – when Natalie comes over, all he wants to do is have a nice walk with her.
Aw!
[Jamie] “Steve … he makes you feel bad if you don’t join in”
[Natalie] “Whatever happens, it’s not your fault … get your head in gear. He’s done stuff. There are consequences. End of story”
Aye indeedy. Well said, young lady.
Livestock Vs Arable
[Spencer on David] “For a livestock man, he’s pretty clued up on wheat”
[Pip] “Typical arable farmer, you think we’re all a bunch of hicks!”
But it’s all amicable, really. Just young lovers jesting.
What does David do for as hobby?
Asks Spencer.
Nothing. He just works.
Now – if he was to sit himself down at about 7pm, grab a cuppa (or something slightly stronger) and turn on Radio 4, a whole new world might open up for him …
You weren’t wild, Pip!
Pip reckons she can’t talk about what Steve is putting his parents through, after what she did to hers when she was seeing Jude.
Eh?
So she went to Cornwall without them knowing. Had a few drinks. Being a bit stroppy.
Not quite the same as stealing cars, m’dear.
(but bless her cotton socks for thinking so)
To a Skylark - Percy Bysshe Shelley
In the golden lightning
Of the sunken sun,
O'er which clouds are bright'ning,
Thou dost float and run;
Like an unbodied joy whose race is just begun.
[Jamie] “No-one has ever said a poem to me before”
See what I mean? Can Natalie be anything other than a nice young lass, who can quote Shelley?
“And we live here”
Jamie was talking about the time that Sid made him go running (he reckons Sid kept himself fit for the cricket … aye, right then!), it was too hot, and they had to stop halfway up Lakey Hill as Jamie was struggling.
As they sat together and look at Ambridge, Sid said:
[Jamie quoting Sid] “Aren’t we lucky … just look at it. And we live here. We’ve got everything we need. And best of all we’ve got something who loves us. What else is there to worry about …”
Jamie reckons he just wants Sid to be proud of him. And that Jamie will do whatever it takes to make Sid proud.
Which is where Natalie steps in to encourage Jamie to go to 6th form college …
Liking this girl more and more!
