I'm going to / sheet / first / __mites? / Yeah. / how is it? / takes a while to spot them / yeah / all sorts of bits / p__ and wax, mostly / a few. / Does that mean / more icing sugar / not this time of the year / right / I don't want contaminate / honey in the s__ / looks like / as if / treatment / well / that's good / are you ready the smoker? / Yep. / I'll take the top off / came / shop yesterday to get an ice cream for Henry / it was ice cream weather / Henry / full of / joy / I must say / bit more, Ruth / sorry. / inner cover off, and then / look at / honey s__ / stick it together, so can be a bit ... / more smoke / like / there you go. / Good. ... just have a peak at one of the / see how / got / looking for ...? / to be heavy, and nicely capped. / And then, tomorrow / extract the honey? / That's right / second / Uh, lovely / isn't it a glorious day? / Mmm. / I was thinking we could take your birthday tea / if you like. / I'd love to. / depends / take a break / guest sheep off / Oh, the refugees? / Yep. they are going home at last.

I think you are over-reacting, Brian. / easy for you to say / it is important / free hand / Justin wanted / fresh eye on things / h__ job / does / from a farming background / something / board / rely on your perspective. / What are you saying, A__? I've always / you / benefits / I know / different point of view / got to be welcome now and then / if there are weaknesses / so that management / be sharpened up / Debby's interest, too. / And she's not here / defend / well, maybe that's part of the problem. / Gosh. __ I thought I was early. / Morning, Charlie / Hi, Brian / quite well, thank you / my report? / I did / need to talk to you about it / Brian, now's not the time / no, really / think / discussion / when everybody is here.

So, that's, the ... / Buddy, / Yeah? / you were just saying about the vent. / Oh. Oh yeah.

... and what Charlie / about the dairy is most unfair / very / get off the ground / I think our / entirely satisfactory, considering the circumstances. / What sort of circumstances? / Well we had / unforeseen / that was bound to have an impact. And look at the extreme weather conditions / any flooding directly / cow housing, did you? / No, but ... / not a surge / but my point is, Debby can't be held responsible for / given her situation. But after a careful study, my conclusion is that splitting / time / between __ and her Hungarian activities / simply isn't working / that's just / let Charlie speak, Brian / based / other things / cropping / if Debby had been on the spot / communication with Adam would have been better / might have been better / whole / effective / 21st century with modern technology. It's perfectly possible to manage the farm / distance / believe that, Brian? / great spport__ of technology, but / surely need / between your fingers / Right. Uh, well, I think we've / sufficiently for now. Let's move on to next item / if you could / pass / Andrew / Justin / specialist team look at / I think / come up with very interesting possibilities.
