M__, quiet. Come here. / Good morning. / Morning. / It's Will Grundy, right? / Uh, that's right, yeah. / I am Charlie, I'm Charlie Thomas. / Oh, yeah. Uh, hello. / I'm looking after the estate. / Yes. / I'm kind of, uh, __'s man on the ground. / Yeah, I know. / OK. Well, uh ... / It's nice to meet you at last. / Yeah, and you. / I'm sorry / no chance to come up before now / you / imagine / pretty full-on. / Yeah. / But I've been hearing a lot about you, __ __ great little __ you've got here. / Oh. / complementary. You seem to have things ... well, very well organized. / Oh, I hope so. I do my best. / Excellent. Good. Uh ... so, I was hoping to come and have a look around / sometime, see how / I could show you around now if you want. / Really? It would be great if __ could. / Yeah, no problem. Um ... where would you want to start?

David, / It's OK, mom. Come on through. / If I'm not in the way, / No, no, just lost a few s__. / How's Ruth? Is she back in the office? / Yeah. She's, um ... she's making / Good. / I said I'd move / for her. / Poor girl. I'm glad / busy. / something / CLA. I'm ... I'm back in myself when I'm done. __, __, here, __. / So, lovely morning ... but somehow that makes it all seem worse / Yeah, I know what you mean, but / think / you might have cars and lorries thundering by here soon. / Mom, it's early days. They may not choose route B, so, / just / let's try not to think about it / hope / get out of the house / nice wild flowers. __ daisies / Yes. ... I picked them past / down the river. / Oh, I know / so lovely, this time of year. k__ p__, red c__ ... / Yeah. / might __ __ __ love it. / Huh. / Your father used to row me down there on summer evenings. It was one of his favorite spots. / I remember. / And now, it may not be there for much longer / If you believe that terrible map, the new road would go right through the middle it. The whole p__ would be bulldozed / Mom, nothing has happened yet. / No. / Remember, it's only one of three possible routes. Nothing has been decided. / You are right. / gonna fight / every way we can. / this morning. I've been / to the NFU / busy / I've been talking to Lynda and Neil about starting some organized opposition. / to affect the whole village / first of all, we need to do a lot of research / work out the costs and disruption the road would cause / business / yes / make a start / as soon as we can. / I'm sorry I sound so gloomy. I can't think how we'd manage at all with a farm cut in half. / Well, that's why / let it happen. / Oh, I hope you are right, David. / Mom, no one / build / Brookfield. I won't let them.

Here, I've, uh, I've printed the new map from the council's web site. / So? / believe when Shula called last night / but / have a look / second option / Right. Let's see / Route B / across the lane / across the edge of our bottom fields / yeah / So, we'd lose / a few acres / could / bad enough, Brian / and it goes ... / through the middle of / it cuts their whole farm in two. / Yeah. / But it's terrible / dreadful / poor Ruth and David / much they can do if the council / go / suppose / be compensated, of course / much help, is it, not / lose / huge chunk of their land / I hate to say this, but / as / whole dairy business unviable. / Oh, Brian ... / I mean / bridge / What a complete nightmare. / Quite. / pretty / we'd still have / edge of our farm / think / noise and dust and pollution / so / A or C instead. / We need to do more than that. We must protest. We must do / everything / about / no, no, I'm sure / much better ways. I can start by updating the village web site / leave all that to you / first of all, / brookfield / practical we can / least / offer / my support / Oh, poor Jill. She must be feeling completely devastated. / what about / lunch / can you help / fridge / What's going on with the new sink? / I mean, yesterday, the two / whole / putting it in / out again. / well, K__ made / he spotted it right away. / Spotted what? / just a silly little mistake. / should / B__ sink / not the b__s. / What's the difference? / it's all rather complicated / something to do with __ overflow / The overflow? / but don't worry / on the case, and / wave / wand / sort it out / well / I / far more important things to worry about / I must get down to Brookfield / see you later, darling.

this is usually / we call a long drive / straight on down through the / bottom / make some nice hairy / Oh yeah, especially / I bet / well, thanks for the tour / one more thing / few years back / wild / right / lot / there / nice and t__, / Huh huh / plenty of cover / nest / yeah / been like / special project of mine, to build / Any success? / Oh, yeah / definitely up, slow, but steady. / well done / bit for conservation / get / stage, we / shoot a few / good / as / name of the game, isn't it / keeping the __ happy / I'm sure you needn't worry about that. ... In fact, I've been wondering / bring / a few more / next / more __? / offer a few more day shooting / such a tight / well / seems / most of it / how many more days? / I was thinking, perhaps ... ten? / as many as that / one / over / How does it sound to you? / Well ... no. __ I'm sorry, I can't do it / pretty reasonable / is / enough / a lot more / crops / as soon as / he can / If I did, we'd end up with a different / You let me worry about that / Adam / a plan / talk again, huh?

It's not just me being a n__, is it? / No,Jill. / Of cause / so close, just a couple of fields away / who wouldn't / business / be terrible. / Yes. / for me / it goes deeper. If the road / here, something / lost forever. / Hmm ... / little things, but very precious to me. Does that sound silly? / No, no, I know just what you mean / pick those flowers / nothing special, but / lovely little spot / it hasn't changed / came here / for all we know / last five hundred years, maybe even longer. / old maps / once it's gone, that's it. It's gone forever. / what a terrible thought / build / All you need is money. / but no one / piece of the landscape / there / centuries / be heart-breaking. / Oh, hi, Jennifer / Oh, gosh, is that the time? / just come to grab some lunch / I must be off / Lynda / emergency parish meeting tomorrow night / Oh, that's good / the plan / formal committee / can't start too soon / oh, tomorrow? / seven / lynda / difficult / Jenny / yes / I'd better talk to Brian.

I've got than enough work to do already / does seem / tall order / extra birds / release p__ / dog / say to that / something / few more hours / oh, yeah / that won't cover it, nowhere near. But / I'm sorry about that, Will / maybe / me? / tell him / is too many / even / good / not up to me any more. Charlie / all the dicisions / look, Will, if / tell / shouldn't / No, no, I understand.
