Come on ... ... Josh. / Thanks. / Pull up that chair. / Right. / ... seen somewhere .... How are things at home? Your dad's started silage in ... has he ? / Not yet. Tomorrow, he reckons. / Oh good, good. .... Ah, here it is. .... Three copies. / you've seen the draft, but if you wanna read it again, you can .... / That's all right, Neil. I trust you. / Huh. Brave lad. / Hayley and I have already signed them, so .... you can use that pen. / OK. Where do I .... / There, at the end. Look, where it says "Your Name" .... and, that one. / OK. / And, you can keep that one for yourself. / Great. / And I think we should shake on it, too. Congratulations, Josh. Or should I say "partner" ? / "Josh" is fine. / Well done. / I'm sure the egg business will go from strength to strength / with you onboard / I hope so. I've got lots of ideas / sales / that's admirable. / I think the first thing should be to try to / existing customers / might / as much / and look for new places / already / another hotel, say, or more than one. / They already have their existing suppliers, of course. Not always easy to get them to change. / And I bet / milk round / special offers / especially in the summer / yeah / well, look, I'd love to talk / about this, Josh, but it'll have to be / another time / stuff I need to do with the pigs / Well, OK. / I'm still recovering / taking a bit longer than / Sure. / Of course, normally, I'd be bell-ringing about now. I'll have to give that a rest though. / I could help if you like / Well,.... / with the pigs, I mean. Not the bells.

He can't be. What on earth .... ! / Oh, Lilian. Hello. Oh my darling .... / What the hell do you think you are playing at? How long have you been here? / I had to see you. / Have you just been staring at the house like some sort of stalker? / No, please. / You can't just turn up like this. How could you be so thoughtless? / Lilian, I just .... / What if Matt ... seen you? / I don't care. / You don't care? / It's not important. / It's important to me, Paul, very important. / I need to talk to you. / Well, not here. .... Look, just drive, will you? / Where to? / Anywhere. Away from here. .... Matt's playing golf this morning, but it's not just him. I mean, anyone could have seen. What on earth could .... Oh, Paul! / Idiot! / You really pulled out in front of him. Be careful for goodness sake. / Some people have no consideration.

Why can't we go inside? / We are just waiting for granma, Jake. / Why? / Becacuse she knows all about church. She'll show us what to do. / We are going to junior church. / That's right, Mia. / proper service for a few minutes first. And / lady's going to take / Of course she will, sweetheart. / meet up / all about it / Hello, Nic. / Oh, hi. Uh, this is Jake, and this is Mia. / Good morning, children. / Say hello to Mrs. W... / How nice to see you here. / a bit / new to me, really, but, uh, / Clarrie / to give it a go / we thought that / two / try / junior church / What a good idea. / a bit nervous / to be honest / be all right / for / really no need to be. / It's a very welcoming atmosphere / I know / Alan usually / good sermon, and / lovely hyms / But, it's just, you know, what to say, when to stand up and sit down, and .... / you'll be fine. Most of us take quite a while to get to our / nowadays / young / like you / taken by surprise / Oh good. / You can sit next to me if you want. / Oh, no, no, that's all right. Clarrie's coming. / 'll look after you / granma / there she is / Enjoy the service, won't you. And don't rush away afterwards. Do stay for a chat over a coffee.

She just won't listen to me. / Look, it's ... through here. / I told / She doesn't know what's best / that's her trouble / Frank and me, we used to be friends before .... you know. .... She says nothing was going on when we were together / Yeah right / expects me to believe that / Mind the horses. / The horses. Paul, / you are driving far too close / do that to a friend / no thanks to you / do you know what he had the nerve to say / Let's go for a drink and talk it through. / Pull over. / want you stop / you are driving like a maniac. / They are fine. / plenty of room / pull in there. / you can blame / if / being upset / with the wedding being today. / Look, I have tried to be sympathetic, Paul, but actually, I really can't see why it's bothering you so much. / It's the kids. They both gonna be there. / I know, but what do you expect? / Gracy / no doubt / be there / But Celia is their mother. / Paul, look, I really think you are getting this out of proportion. / I know her. She's sneaky. She was always going behind my back when I was small, undermining me. She thought she knew / best. Well, / she was wrong then / she is wrong now. / Look. It's her life, Paul. / own mistakes if it is a mistake / you think I'm wrong, do you? / I didn't say that. / I know them both. I know them too well. / OK. Fine. So, let her be unhappy, and you can say I told you so. .... I just can't see why it's that important to you who she marries unless .... / What? / .... unless you still love her. Is that it? / No. Of course not. How can you even say that? / getting ... up about it. You / rest / I love you. How many times do I have to say it? I love you and I need you. .... And you love me. You need to stop pussy-footing around. / I beg your pardon? / It's time you got off the fence and made a commitment to me. / Look. I can't do that, Paul, you can't ask me to. / I've waited long enough. / You said you understood. I can't leave Matt. / Of course you can. Don't be ridiculous. / And, if you think you're gonna force my hand by turning up at the house, you are out of your mind. / You are just like Celia. / What? / Too stupid to see it. It's just a business arrangement for Matt. He's just with you for your money, and what? For the sex now and then. / How dare you! / He's using you. .... Where are you going? / You have no idea how Matt feels about me. / Come back. / And how dare you call me a prostitute! / I didn't call you a prostitute. I said he treated you like one. Don't you ever listen? / Oh, you just shut up! .... Paul, .... Paul.

It was a lot less stuffy than I expected. / In what way? / Well, I certainly didn't expect there'd be any laughs. / Oh, that's Alan for you. / I didn't know you are allowed to laugh in church. / He does have a good sense of humour. / Yeah. I like the way he linked / hilltop / The holy spirit coming to apostles? / Yeah, made it clearer, sort of. / Alan has a / make it easier to understand / I actually knew one of the hyms. / of God". / Oh, yes / school or something / So, has it been a success? / Yeah, yeah. I think so. And, I met some people I wouldn't normally meet. / different / Right. / I just hope Jake and Mia enjoyed that bit / they seem to be enjoying chatting with the other children now.

You all right in there, Josh? / Yeah. No problem. / You ever worked with pigs? / Not really worked. / Your granddad was / great pig man, he was. / Yeah, I remember. / in the blood. / So, Neil, / Huh? / When Adam was over ... the other day, / I was talking / strawberries and that. / he says / place / biggest profit margins is Farmers' Market / we used to do that, but / sort of dropped off / direct to the consumer, not to a middleman / Well, / farmgates house / people expect to buy them cheap there. Adam is saying / farmers' market, people are happy to pay a premium price / not as much as / used to / think / Anyway, I've got a list of all the Farmers' markets in the area. / if we / half of them / Well well, maybe we could think about a couple. Let's take things one step at a time, shall we?

Could you ring her? Do you have a mobile? / I do, but it's at home. / You could use mine, but I don't suppose you know Lilian's number. / Not her mobile number, no. / And she definitely said she'd be in? / All morning, yes. / Well, her car's still here. / I'm so sorry, Nic. / Oh don't worry about it. So, shall I bring you home then? / I don't like to put you to any more trouble / not far / is it? / that's no disntance in car. / Well, if you really don't mind, perhaps that would be the best. / Uh, Peggy, .... / Oh, who's that? / Thank you. It's on the account. / What's she doing in a taxi? / Nic. / Hiya. / Why were you in a taxi? Where have you been, Lilian? / I've a .... I just had to .... / here now, is it OK / Oh, yes, of course. / get home / Thank you so much for the lift. / You're welcome. / bye / again at church sometime. / doing here, mom? / You did say I was welcome to call in after church. / Did I? / .... because Matt was playing golf. / Oh yeah. I'm sorry. It must have slipped my mind. / Is something wrong with your car? / Uh .... / Is that why you were in a taxi? / was / shall we go inside / leave / unlocked all the time? / Yeah, I,.... I just popped out, you know. / Oh, that's very risky, Lilian. / Come on in. I expect you could do with a coffee.
