3 words for Tom
[Helen] “tea and toast”
Well.
Seems to make Tom happy enough.
(though hearing him munch it wasn’t very pretty)
Helen makes a joke
Helen and Tom are talking about creating more poly tunnels to be able to grow and sell more produce.
Helen reckons the packaging has to be spot on. Local produce. Organic. And British.
[Helen] “It’s really important to flag that up, literally … union jacks on every crate”
She did chuckle when she said it, so Helen isn’t completely clueless.
Tom also mentioned something about talking to a bloke about a business loan.
Eh?
When was that decided?
Does Bridge Farm need more debt?
Tony won’t be very calm when he hears about that.
Why can’t Helen move pig arks?
Tom’s feeling overworked, so Helen offers to help.
[Tom] “Come on, I’m not going to get you moving pig arks, am I?”
Why not?
Helen has always struck me as a fairly robust and healthy young filly.
Jazzer has a new lassie in sight
Poor lassie.
Seems he’s more than happy to take on extra work from Tom.
[Tom] “He was quite keen to do more hours. He’s got some new woman to impress”
[Helen] “Good old Jazzer. Always the right priorities”
Poor Helen. She really doesn’t get that there’s more to life than Bridge Farm …
Alice’s iron is knackered
[Alice] “It just went out as soon as I switched it on”
Has Jennifer changed her tune about Christopher?
She actually sounds fairly impressed that Alice and Chris have managed to save, and Chris is now about to have his own business.
Hard work outweighs a lack of blue blood (which neither Jennifer nor Brian have anyhoo).
Tony’s too quiet
Tony’s made it out of the yard. He wants some proper air (which you seemingly can’t get in the yard), but he’s chased just as quickly back home again in case he is over doing it and gets a chill.
(poor Tony. He isn't ancient as yet)
Pat’s feeling quite philosophical.
[Pat] “It brings it home to you, doesn’t it? What loving someone really is”
Later on, Tony’s not hungry enough to finish his pudding. He feels like he’s not doing enough to build up a hunger. He takes himself off to watch the rugby, with pat promising to take his a cup of tea during half time.
Pat’s guilt resurrects itself.
[Pat] “All that time, from the minute I found out about Rich, I was nothing but selfish”
Helen thinks Pat’s guilt over Rich comes from the overreaction she (Helen) and Tom had.
Pat does not concur.
[Pat] “Never gave dad’s feelings a moment’s thought … He was trying to protect me. He was worried about my health … I didn’t allow him to vent”
But Helen (and the doctor) reckon it was high cholesterol and the like that caused Tony’s heart attack.
[Helen] “You might as well say that I’m to blame … these things build up don’t they … if you’re looking for stress factors, then it’s got to be the e.coli”
[Pat] “I’ll never take him for granted again Helen … I know I have in the past just because he’s quieter than I am”
[Helen] “He’s quieter than all of us”
[Pat] “It his quietness that … he gives me,. All of us, so much support. Just knowing he’s there. He’s been too easy to ignore Helen. I’m not going to do that anymore. I’m going to listen to him. What he wants”
[Helen] “I know mum. We all will”
Phew!
At last, they’re actually going to listen to Tony. The trick is to make sure Tom also follows suit.
Charity fashion show for ‘Africa’
How very 1980s, and oddly quite politically incorrect for Alice.
Why does Alice want Amy to have a boyfriend?
It’s just as odd as Fallon being desperate to make Kirsty and Rhys get together.
[Alice] “I’m going to introduce her to one of the more lush models … Joel”
[Jennifer] “That’s up to Amy. Actually, does she want a boyfriend?”
[Alice] “Of course she does. She’s not going to meet many men doing her job is she, well not available ones anyway”
[Jennifer] “She’s always struck me as a very independent young woman, just because being in a couple suits you and Christopher darling, you can’t assume that everyone wants to be paired off at your age …Dear me Alice, you sound like my granny!”
[Alice] “You’ll be sorry you doubted me when you’re buying your new hat”
How odd.
Why would Alice be scoring any points by getting Amy a boyfriend?
