Did Lilian say callous?
I thought she said to Pat that she’d sounded “cold” when she did the radio interview.
Cold callers of the world – take Pat off of your lists
Calling Pat right now will only result in a right old ear bashing.
The little boy is okay
Shula tells Pat.
Well, that’s at least one bit of good news.
Adam’s playing safe
Pip has finally cornered Adam. She wants to talk through her ideas for Brookfield’s marketing of its lamb.
Her main idea is for Brookfield to break from the Hasset Hills co-operative – go it alone – and market the lamb as “pasture fed rather than a generic commodity” alongside its beef.
Adam’s not so sure. He thinks the co-op works best for all involved, and it provides a degree of safety.
But, not a chap to be completely negative, Adam suggests that Pip make a difference by working within – and she could start off by doing it as a college project.
Which she seems happy enough with.
Freddie reminds Shula of Nigel
Freddie’s been helping out a lot at Shula’s. She’s finding a lot of Nigel in Freddie – his sense of fun, and his “innocent” eyes.
Nigel was also quite a clever chap (which he tried). Wonder if Freddie is just a late bloomer in that department?
What do you mean Daniel has already had his work experience?
Blimey – I sound like a broken record saying that there’s been a lot of damp squibs in Ambridge recently – but they just keep happening!
Now it’s Daniel.
He was due to have work experience at Usha’s. Neither Shula nor Usha were entirely sure how it would pan out.
Would it lead to great friction? Would Usha and Shula suddenly become mates? Would Shula return to St Stephens as a result?
I have no idea.
His work experience has happened, but the hidden microphones were no-where near.
*Lynda sniff*
Though the mention of his work experience did give Pat a very good opportunity to say:
[Pat] “It wouldn’t hurt to have a lawyer in the family one day, again”
How very true.
“Nothing worse than silence is a wheat field during harvest”
Indeed Adam. I find that all the time.
Alice has found work
Selling strawberries for her (half) brother, for commission.
But she seems to be quite good at it.
And she also has a gig running stalls at farmers markets.
For her mum.
Phew! There’s nowt like standing on one’s own two feet.
Anything else for Bridge Farm?
Susan calls Pat to let her know that they haven’t sold a yoghurt all day. Or the day before.
In fact, the only thing that is selling from bridge Farm is the Sterling Gold cheese. Which just so happens to not have any mention of the Bridge Farm brand on it.
Tom finds that most frustrating,. He claims it’s because it’s utterly ridiculous – Sterling Gold is made from unpasteurised milk, don’t you know. But I reckon it’s more to do with Helen’s brand standing up better than Tom’s …
And, there’s also been cancellations for veg boxes.
[Tom] “Clarrie’s certainly left a trail of destruction on her wake …”
But wait – there’s more.
Environmental Health telephone. They want to interview Pat (or Tony?). For food safety offenses.
[Tom] “Whatever we do, it doesn’t look like we’re going to weather this storm, does it?”
Blimey.
Could it get worse?
Death?
