Josh or Pip?
Astonishment at Brookfield as Josh is out of bed at a decent hour (during his holidays) AND he wants to helping with the milking.
In fact, he wants to do the milking everyday while he’s on holiday.
Of course, that’s somewhat about an increase in his pocket money – but also:
[Josh] “I’ve got a lot to learn if I’m going to be like you (David), Mum and granddad”
Josh is even worrying about what would happen if they ever had to get rid of the cows (unprofitable milk yields, and so on).
So now David has something new to worry about.
Pip wants to be on the farm. And would seem Josh also wants to be on the farm. That would mean Brookfield having to support a potential of three families.
[David] “I was hoping Josh would become a premiership footballer and keep us all in the lap of luxury”
Nae luck!
Business for Matt’s birthday
Classic Pusscat and Tiger moment:
[Matt] “you were dead to the world”
[Lilian] “Slumbering peacefully, I think you’ll find”
But back to business – which is what Matt wants to do on his birthday, rather than go to the Snells’ party.
Seems some bloke called Ken Dickinson (who happens to use golden tees during golf) is having a barbeque on Sunday. He’s a major developer, has invited Matt and Lilian – so Matt’s only too glad to insist they go to his shindig instead of Lynda’s.
[Matt] “Finally, I’ve been buttering him up for months”
[Lilian] “Do you really want to spend your birthday doing business?”
[Matt] “More so than having me brain numbed by Lynda”
Lilian really does want to go to the Snells – James (and Leonie) will be there.
[Matt] “He might be disappointed you can’t go, but it’s the first time he’s wanted to come within spitting distance of me”
But sounds like Lilian will give up James and the Snells for Matt’s business networking.
Well, it is his birthday …
Matt’s also pondering Paulhill
The plot does thicken.
Matt’s remembered that Darrell (the bloke who also wants to buy the Farrier business) is the brother of one of the contractors he and Lilian know. After a wee bit of digging, he finds out that Darrell is going through a messy divorce, and is having to sell his house.
[Lilian] “Well done Tiger, that’s very interesting news”
Indeed.
Can we assume Darrell also isn’t in a financial position to outbid Chris?
Fond memories and hopeful future at Brookfield
Ruth’s telling Josh about how his granddad (Phil) brought the black and whites to Brookfield, replacing the shorthorns that Josh’s great-grandfather (Dan) had.
Ruth also remembers her view from Nightingale Farm, when she first moved to Ambridge:
[Ruth] “I never imagined that view would become my life”
[Josh] “You really love the cows, don’t you mum?”
[Ruth] “Yeah, of course. I’ve put a lot of hard work into them … I suppose it’s those moments when you stand back and see a strong, healthy herd producing value food, it reminds you why you do it, you know”
Pat’s on the radio
Pat’s having her interview with Wayne Folley at Radio Borchester.
She finally gets her chance to say her heartfelt piece about the kiddies:
[Pat] “Genuinely, it’s been the worst aspect of all this. We’re a small family run business, my daughter has recently had a baby, it really does break all our hearts to imagine how worried those parents must be”
When she gets back from the interview (which wasn’t live – so it’s still to air), Pat finds out that they’ve definitely lost Underwoods as an account. It’s their biggest customer, so not good news.
Especially now that they’re able to start production again.
Will there be anyone to produce for?
