We don't know exact numbers yet, but Jolene doesn't seem / think / I can't help feeling / it's a bit of a shame, though. / What? / Well, Grey Gables would have been / a bit special / I know, mom / lovely dress / you can still wear your posh f___ / at least / eat cake with silly little forks / worry about spilling stuff on the carpet / lovely / Oh, I know. And / children will probably be much happier / somewhere like Grey Gables. ... at least ___ can play / any damage / they'd be great, mom / I know / oh, look at the time / open up / post office / big occasion: your half-century. / Oh, don't call it that, Tracy / like an ancient monument. / You / be able to invite / friends / made over the past fifty years. / kept in touch / bit / research / won't we? / see you later, love. Bye, Tracy / Bye. ... Right, Emma. Do you know where your mom keeps her address book? / Uh ... why? / dig out / get long / party invites out / probably in that little __ __ in the lounge.

Will you have a cup of tea, Alan? / Oh, thanks, Nic, but I really can't stop. I / over / keep you. / Joe / the reason I'm here, Jow, apart from the pleasure of seeing you, is to give you this. ... We had a huge amount of produce gifted for the harvest festival, and I thought you might like / a bit / produce / I know you don't need veg. You are pretty much self-sufficient this time of year, aren't you? / all gone / out there now / no, it's not. Eddie's been looking after the garden / along / help from George / weekend / I did bring you some blackberries / Oh, lovely. You like / blackberry and apple pie, don't you, Joe? / and, a few tins of stuff I thought you'd appreciate / sardines, corned beef, rice-pudding, / Yeah. See? / All your favorite / some ginger biscuits which, / bit / Joe / Well, strange as it may seem, nobody contributed any tobacco to the harvest festival. / yeah, and Eddie said / on his way home / I wish / look, uh, I'll tell you what, Joe. It's a lovely day out there. Sun's shining, sky's blue. Why don't we take a little stroll in your garden? / you can, if you want. / wouldn't you like to check on things, making sure / proper job out there? / No, no, no. I ain't ... I ain't / steady on me legs / come on. You can lean on me. Come on / No, no, no. / look, I've tried, Alan / do you good to smell / fresh air / OK. Some other day, then / ever get out / ever again. / I'm sure that's not true / what do you know about what I feel / tough as old boots, Joe, and you always bounce back / I'm 92 years old now / enough / don't say that / have / new great grandchild in ... how long is it now / just another week or so / well, if that's not worth hanging on for, I don't know what is. ... Well, uh, I'd better make a move, I suppose. / Oh, um, before you go, Alan, I've had an idea for the organ fund. / Oh yeah? / Yeah. You know last year / one of their paintings for each month / junior / something similar / oh, that's a lovely idea. / Only, uh, we / need to get on with it / ready in time for Christmas / your hands full, aren't you? / Oh, yeah, but, maybe I / someone else / I think / lie down / Oh, do you want me to give you / I can get meself onto the bed, thank you very much. / you are. Well, uh, / look, you have a good rest, and I / come and see you / in a day or two. ... No, no, no, no, stay there, Nic / I can find my own way / see you soon, Joe. / Don't put yourself out. ... No point in you hanging around either / I'm waiting / Eddie gets back / waiting / gets back / well, I'll go and see in the kitchen / what about the kids / No, not for a couple of hours yet.

Darrell, / Oh, no. / Hey, Darrell. ... Huhh, I've been trying to get hold of you. / Oh, it's you, vicar. So sorry, I didn't realize. / I left you a message, .... good grief, you have been in a war, haven't you? / it's OK. It's nothing / Shula told me what happened / Shula ... is she all right? / Yeah, yeah. / kind of lost with her. / she said / I feel / bad about it / what happened / perhaps I should give her a call, tell her I'm sorry / what / sure / appreciate that. And, uh, / just now then? / going over to / Bridge Farm / catch / Rosa / knocks off work / Well, when you've done that, why don't you pop down to the vicarage? / What for / cup of tea, something to eat. / Well, um / I've got / harvest festival / you might be glad of / what sort of stuff? / Well, food, mainly, although I / few other bits and pieces you might find useful. / Well, I ... um, I don't know, um ... / Well, well, it's, it's up to you, of course. Look, I've, uh, / just / but, uh, I'll be back in an hour, so, I'll, maybe, see you later? / Yeah, maybe. / OK.

All right, Emma? / Oh, hello. Are you all right? / Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, got down here a bit early / sneak in / The Bull / loo / baby-sitting on your bladder? / kicking his legs / Keira was just the same. / Oh, well / bus stop, I suppose / kids / here soon. / You've got five minutes yet. And you can see the bus coming from here / stay / if I were you. / all right. / why don't you join me? / Oh, uh ... OK. / nice to see the sun, isn't it? / Yeah. / I, uh, I went over to visit Joe this morning. / Oh yeah? How's he doing? / Uh, not very well at all, I'm afraid. / bad way last week. / Yeah. Alan dropped by. It was really kind of him to come round, but / tried to pursuade him to take a walk around the garden / weather's so lovely, but / any of it. / That's not like Joe / Yeah. Clarrie is sick worried about him / leave him on his own, which / went over. Eddie / see / Clarrie / so much time off already from Bridge Farm, she can't ... / help out, but / I've got Keira. / I know, but / Joe would love to see her. / always / cheers him up / and I'm a bit busy at the moment, organizing my mom's 50th birthday party. / right / then / 12th October. / Oh, quite soon. / Yeah. / Well, maybe after that. / What? / The thing is, I was talking to Alan this morning about perhaps doing a calendar for the organ fund. / Calender? / Yeah, using the paintings / kids have done / Everyone's doing calender / these days, don't they? / So, you wouldn't be interested in helping with it? / Me? / be busy / parents / yeah, obviously, but ... / Right / wanna do it / it's not that I don't want to. It's just / might have my idea for the organ fund. / Oh, really? / Yeah. / What? / uh ... what ... I don't wanna say anything just yet. I ... it's still at the planning stage, and / look, here comes the school bus / do you want a hand getting up? / No, I'm all right. I can ... oh ... oh, no ... I think I just ... / What's the matter? / My water's just broke. / Oh, god. / I'm not due for another week, and, ... and the kids will be here any minute. / It's all right. / work / to Bermingham shopping today / do? / you're gonna stay here and not panic, all right? / But ... but, Jake and Mia ... / come back to Ambridge View for their tea / first thing to do is to ring Will, and get you to the hospital.

You still looking for work, then? / I have to, don't I? / stop job / seeker / otherwise. / where are you staying now? / staying anywhere. Uh, don't tell me to go back to The Elms. I'm not going near that place again. / No? Well, while we are waiting for the kettle to boil, like I said, / a few bits and pieces here / from the harvest festival. / some packets of biscuit, some chocolates, apples, / I'm not sure / can carry all that lot / I did wonder about that, and I thought you might be able to make use of this. / Someone donated / rucksack / harvest festival? / no, no / old thing of mine. A bit battered, I'm afraid, but, uh, / yours if you want it / that's great. Thanks. / and, I have packed / have to take it if you don't want it, uh, there's a sleeping bag. / Sleeping bag? / Well, nights can get pretty chilly this time / out / thanks, Alan / it's nothing, really / It's not nothing. It's really kind. ... I'm sorry. / It's all right, mate. Nothing to be sorry about.

What are they doing out there? / Uh ... playing Grandmother's Footsteps, by the looks of it. / And B__'s joining in? / seems to be / your dad's a star, isn't he, taking / play like that / probably / a bit help. / give him a hand? / tea things / just do the invites / for Susan's party. There / two names / I'm not sure about. / Any news? / No, nothing yet. / Oh, my goodness, Emma / looking / certainly was. / school bus was arriving, and Nic flew into / panic / I'm not surprised / So, I got straight / Will / about ten minutes / straight off to the hospital. So, at least / be there / time / I brought Jake and Mia / their tea / Tracy turns up. / I brought / hope you don't mind. / all / these invites finished / phone / let her know / what about Nic's mom? / will / call her / by the way, Susan, who's Carol B___? / how do you know about Carol? / I've been going through your address book / Carol / party invites / in prison / Oh. ... Probably not one for the party, then. ... What about, uh, Maureen Travis? / Oh, please don't tell me you've invited her. / never mind about that now. Clarrie said she / go / cottage / to look after Jake and Mia / Will gets home / with Joe / yeah, but / Jake and Mia / stay here tonight. / Here? / George and Keira / Keira won't be happy / there's no telling what time this baby will arrive. We could be here in hospital all night.
